Can We Really Talk About Women Empowerment? | Durgapur MBBS Student Gangrape Case | NCW Takes Action

 

A shocking incident from Durgapur has once again raised questions on women’s safety in India. A 23-year-old MBBS student was gangraped — with one of the accused being her classmate. Within 36 hours, police arrested three accused. The National Commission for Women has taken suo motu action and sought a report from West Bengal Police. CM Mamata Banerjee called the incident “shocking,” but her comment — “girls should not go out at night” — has triggered massive backlash online.
