Justice will be served: Trinamool as its student leader arrested for gang-rape
Trinamool Congress condemns the gang-rape of a law college student in Kolkata. The ruling party says the full weight of the law will be brought to bear. The party takes a swipe at the BJP-ruled central government for not implementing an anti-rape bill. A 24-year-old student of South Calcutta Law College was gangraped by three persons.
Stating that the Kolkata Police “swiftly apprehended all three accused”, the ruling party in West Bengal said, “..the full weight of the law will be brought to bear, ensuring the most severe measures are imposed on those found guilty.”

A 24-year-old student of South Calcutta Law College student was gangraped by three persons – two of them current students, and the main accused an alumnus who is also said to be an active member of the Trinamool Chhatra Parishad (TMCP), the student wing of the Trinamool Congress.
The West Bengal ruling party, however, also stated that the “tragedy once again underscores the urgent need for the implementation of the Aparajita Anti-Rape Bill”. The party took a swipe at the BJP-ruled central government for not implementing an anti-rape bill “to establish a strong deterrent against sexual offences, emphasising the necessity for speedy investigations, swift trials, and stringent punishments.”
The tweet said it was “extremely unfortunate” that the “Centre has not lifted a finger to get it implemented.”
“Justice will be served,” the party stated at the end of the tweet.
