Kolkata Police Warns Against Disclosure of Gang-Rape Victim's Identity

The Kolkata Police have issued a stringent warning against the disclosure of a gang-rape victim's identity, highlighting that such actions constitute a grave legal infringement. The advisory, shared on social media, stresses that disclosing the victim's identity—whether through documents, images, or social media—violates legal provisions.

Authorities highlighted that legal and ethical duties mandate the protection of victims' identities, emphasizing that privacy and dignity are paramount. The public is urged to exercise restraint and refrain from disseminating any information that might lead to identifying the victim in question.

The investigation continues as DNA samples from the three accused suspects were collected, marking a critical step in the case. The horrific incident recalls the similar circumstances of a rape-murder case that occurred at RG Kar Medical College the previous year.
