A 20-year-old second-year medical student from Odisha was allegedly gang-raped by three unidentified men in Durgapur, West Bengal, on Friday night. The victim was outside her college campus for dinner when attackers snatched her phone, dragged her to a wooded area, and assaulted her while threatening consequences. Police launched an investigation after her family filed a complaint, reviewing CCTV footage and collecting forensic evidence. The National Commission for Women deployed a team to meet the survivor. Odisha CM Mohan Charan Majhi urged Mamata Banerjee's intervention. BJP leaders attacked the West Bengal government, invoking RG Kar Hospital memories, calling the state unsafe for women. TMC responded, urging against politicizing women's safety issues.
