High Court Grills Kolkata Police on Law Student Rape Case
The Calcutta High Court is closely monitoring the Kolkata Police investigation into the alleged gang rape of a law student. The court’s scrutiny intensified on July 10, 2025, following a review of the police’s case diary and a sealed progress report submitted in a closed-door hearing.
The court expressed its dissatisfaction with the pace of the investigation. A detailed order was passed directing the submission of another comprehensive progress report within four weeks.
Four suspects remain in custody as the investigation continues. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for July 17, 2025.
The High Court’s intervention underscores the gravity of the situation and highlights the need for swift and effective justice in cases of sexual assault. The pressure on the Kolkata Police to deliver concrete results is immense, with the eyes of the nation watching closely. This case serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing battle against gender-based violence in the country and the critical role of the judiciary in ensuring accountability.
