  • On Friday, a second-year MBBS student from Jaleswar, Odisha was allegedly attacked after leaving campus for dinner near a private medical college in Shobhapur, Durgapur between 8:00 and 9:00 pm.
  • A classmate took her out on the pretext of getting food but abandoned her when three men arrived, who then snatched her phone and raped her in a nearby wooded area.
  • Three people have been arrested and referred to court, while a forensic team collects evidence and police review CCTV footage amid searches for additional suspects.
  • West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said female boarders should follow hostel rules and not go out late, while the victim's father fears for her safety and wants her moved to Odisha.
  • Drawing parallels with last year, the Durgapur case echoes the RG Kar Medical College case and follows three girls raped on an Odisha beach three weeks ago, fueling protests led by BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari.
