Jun 29, 2025

Kolkata, June 29, 2025(ANI): On Kolkata alleged gangrape case, NCW member Archana Majumdar said, "We have spoken to the officer-in-charge, who informed us that the first visit will be to the girl’s house in Champahati, where we will speak with her father, mother, and any other legal guardian. We will ask the family about the current situation, what actually happened, whether proper protection has been given, whether the police took timely and appropriate action, and if the family needs any further help. We will also inquire about the progress of the investigation... Earlier, medical and legal procedures used to take several days, even up to four days. But yesterday, we received the medical report, FIR, in a single day. This shows that if police work without political interference, everything can be done promptly..." She also said, "Such incidents are happening everywhere. Just three days ago, we were in Kalyani for a public hearing about another case, where a man from another community entered a home in broad daylight, raped a woman, and escaped. The police reportedly took no action... Crimes against women are being suppressed in West Bengal, and we are here to ensure their safety, to support them, and to stand by them in times of crisis. That’s our duty..."
