Law Students Demand Justice: Campus Protest Over Gang Rape Shakes South Calcutta

In a powerful demonstration of unity and outrage, students from South Calcutta Law College gathered on Tuesday to demand justice following a gang rape on campus. The incident, involving a 24-year-old woman and implicating college students, has sparked widespread calls for reform and heightened security measures.

Demonstrators held placards and chanted for justice amid rising concerns about the alleged involvement of faculty members in the crime. The college has since expelled the students involved and terminated a contractual staff member, Monojit Mishra, identified as the main accused.

In response, legal professionals from Alipore Court joined the outcry, demanding severe penalties for those responsible. The demonstration underscores a critical need to reassess legal protections and institutional safety standards, as the legal community grapples with the crime's implications.
