New Delhi [India], July 8 : The BJP's fact-finding team constituted to inquire into the case of alleged gangrape of a law college student in Kolkata submitted its report to party National President JP Nadda on Tuesday.
Upon receiving the report, Nadda said that this report exposes the "lawlessness" in West Bengal.
"This report exposes the utter state of lawlessness in West Bengal and the state government's alarming insensitivity towards women's safety. From Sandeshkhali to RG Kar Hospital and now this, the pattern remains the same with silence, inaction and protection for the accused," Union Minister JP Nadda said on X.
The team comprised former Union Ministers Satpal Singh and Meenakshi Lekhi, Rajya Sabha MP Manan Kumar Mishra, and Lok Sabha MP Biplab Kumar Deb.
Meanwhile, West Bengal Police on July 4 brought the arrested accused in the Kolkata gangrape case to South Calcutta Law College for the reconstruction of the crime scene.
Earlier, the Kolkata High Court sought a response from the West Bengal Government on three Public Interest Litigations (PILs) regarding the alleged gangrape at the South Calcutta Law College in the Kasba area.
The Court also questioned why the governing body of the college was not included in the case.
This comes after a student was allegedly gangraped inside the South Calcutta Law College in Kasba area in the capital city of West Bengal on June 25. Five days later, on June 30, Kolkata Police said that the three main accused in the case were arrested in less than 12 hours.
Earlier, BJP's committee member Manan Kumar Mishra alleged that the police were "hiding" the family of the rape survivor and not allowing anyone to meet the security guard, who is the fourth accused in the incident.
He further alleged that there was an attempt to "tamper" with the First Information Report (FIR) to change the name of the accused.
Mishra told ANI, "We visited everyone there and met other college staff also. When we saw some documents, it showed that some tampering had been done with the FIR. By looking at the document, it looks like someone attempted to change the name of the accused. We tried to talk to the victim, but it looks like the police are hiding the family of the victim. The guard is the best witness in this case, but they have also arrested him and are not letting him meet anyone."
