Kolkata, the cultural capital of West Bengal, is in the headlines these days due to a sad and shocking incident. The incident of gang rape of a first year student of a law college has not only shocked the citizens, but has rejected the questions of safety and responsibility of women in the society. The main accused in this case and his associates have been arrested, but the incident has highlighted many serious issues. Let us understand the various aspects of this incident and know what steps the society and administration can take to stop such tragedies.

Description of the event: What happened that night?

Earlier last week, a young student of a prestigious law college in Kolkata shook the entire city. The victim, who was studying in this college to groom her future, was alone that night. According to the police, the main accused Monojit Mishra and his associates took advantage of the circumstances. This incident not only raised questions on the security system of the college administration, but also forced to think whether young girls are still safe today?

Police action: Investigation increases

After the incident, the Kolkata police took quick action and arrested four accused, including a security guard. In view of the increasing resentment of the public, the police has formed a special investigation team (SIT), which is investigating the matter in depth. Police say they are closely investigating all the evidence and witnesses so that the victim can get justice as soon as possible. But the question is whether arrest is the solution to this problem only, or we need a further change in a deepest level?

TMC and political connection: What is the truth?

After the incident, it was revealed that the main accused could have a relationship with the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC). Senior TMC leader Madan Mitra reacted in the matter and said that the party is very big and many people may be connected to it in some form or the other. He also added that if the victim had informed her location to her friends or family that night, this incident could have been postponed. However, Mitra’s statement went through many people, as it appeared indirectly to blame the victim. The question arises whether leaders should take more care in their comments on such sensitive events?

Responsibility of society: Where are we missing?

This incident is not only a story of a crime, but also shows the mentality of our society, which is still not fully aware of the safety of women. We often hear that girls should not leave alone at night or share their location. But is this advice in the right direction? Shouldn’t we try to change the mentality of criminals? Every section of the society – it is a family, school, or college – will have to make such a system where women can live their lives without fear.

Wait ahead: security and awareness

This tragic incident has once again reminded us that only laws and police are not enough for the safety of women. Security in colleges and universities needs to be tightened. Also, workshops and training programs should be organized to make the youth aware. The government, administration, and society will have to ensure that such incidents do not happen again. The victim and her family not only need justice, but also the support of the society, so that they can recover from this tragedy.
