Kolkata law college rape case: Is Bengal failing its women? Experts debate on Preeti Choudhry's show
This episode of To The Point programme discusses the gang rape case at a Kolkata law college that has exposed a horrifying saga of assault. The accused Monojit Mishra's lawyer made sickening claims in court, citing 'love bites' as proof it wasn't rape. However, scratch marks found on Mishra's body during medical examination are seen as evidence of the victim's self-defence. Another student has come forward alleging assault by Mishra two years ago, claiming a pattern of predatory behaviour. The political fallout has worsened with senior TMC leaders trivialising the incident. The BJP has launched a scathing attack, calling it 'TMC-sponsored'. The program debates the government's handling of the case and political messaging around it.
