National News: In a shocking revelation, two assailants in the June 25 Kolkata Law College gang‑rape recorded the brutal assault on their phones. One attacker filmed from inside the room, another from outside, capturing the violence on camera. These recordings were later used to blackmail the victim. The videos and photos reached police custody during the investigation. Women’s Commission condemned the college’s lack of cooperation and transparency in the probe. BJP organized a “Kanya Suraksha March” in response. Public anger has now turned into a political storm.
The assault was not just physical—it was meticulously recorded by the perpetrators. One accused filmed inside the guard room, another captured external footage from the corridor. Investigators recovered multiple video clips and photos used for blackmail. The use of technology escalates the crime to a disturbing level. Authorities are now investigating the digital trail to identify further circulation.
National Women’s Commission member Archana Majumdar visited the campus and raised serious concerns. She accused authorities of withholding evidence and restricting access. The victim and her family are reportedly under intense pressure. She was allegedly prevented from sharing critical video evidence. The Commission demanded full cooperation in the investigation and transparent action from college officials.
To protest the incident, BJP held a torchlight procession in Kolkata. Led by Shubhendu Adhikari, the march called for improved women’s safety. The party’s fact‑finding team of senior leaders has arrived. They aim to uncover political interference in the case. BJP alleges systemic protection for the accused from state authorities.
The fact that assailants could film the attack raises serious security questions. How were cameras and phones allowed inside the restricted guard room? College management is accused of lax controls and oversight. Alumni and students now demand strict security reforms. The incident reveals a chilling lapse in campus safety protocols.
Kolkata Police have arrested four suspects, including security personnel. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) is examining CCTV footage, phone records, and statements. Authorities claim the evidence is damning, with clear recordings of the crime. Legal experts expect fast-tracked proceedings. Investigators are also checking if the content was circulated elsewhere.
The accused are linked to TMC, raising questions of political shielding. BJP alleges the state ruling party shielded the perpetrators. Opposition members say evidence suppression points to influence from higher powers. The college’s role in supporting the accused is now under intense criticism. The scandal threatens to harm the image of both the institution and the state government.
Civil society groups and student bodies are demanding swift legal action. They want campus reforms and strict enforcement against offenders. Experts call for a campus-wide review of safety protocols. They insist this case should set a precedent, not become a cover-up. Justice must prevail, reclaiming student safety and institutional credibility.
