Calcutta High Court: Rape Survivor Satisfied with Police Probe; Law college Rape Survivor to Court

The Calcutta High Court noted that the South Calcutta Law College rape survivor is satisfied with the ongoing police investigation. Her lawyer conveyed this during a hearing on PILs requesting a court-monitored or CBI-led probe.

The Court reviewed the case diary and a sealed report from Kolkata Police, directing that a scanned copy be shared confidentially with the survivor’s counsel. 

A first-year student was allegedly raped on June 25 in the security guard room of the South Calcutta Law College.

A separate PIL seeking a CBI investigation was dismissed after the Court questioned the petitioner’s intent, noting his counsel raised concerns about the accused's human rights.
