<p data-start="79" data-end="357"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Kolkata Police have arrested three young men on charges of raping a woman inside the premises of a prominent law college in South Kolkata. The victim, along with two of the accused, are students of the South Kolkata Law College (New Campus), while the third is a former student.</span></p>
<p data-start="359" data-end="648"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">According to police sources, one of the accused was apprehended late Thursday night, and the remaining two were arrested early Friday morning. All three were scheduled to be produced in a South Kolkata court later on Friday, where the prosecution was expected to seek their police custody.</span></p>
<p data-start="650" data-end="942"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The case came to light after the woman lodged a complaint at the Kasba Police Station on the night of June 25. She alleged that she was sexually assaulted in the college&rsquo;s common room between 7 PM and 9 PM that same evening. The complaint included the names of the three individuals involved.</span></p>
<p data-start="944" data-end="1192"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Following the registration of her complaint, the police took the woman for a medical examination at the state-run National Medical College &amp; Hospital. The medical report reportedly corroborated her claims, prompting swift action from investigators.</span></p>
<p data-start="1194" data-end="1423"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Police have since begun recording her confidential statement before a judicial magistrate. Investigating officers are also reviewing CCTV footage from across the college, including the area where the assault allegedly took place.</span></p>
<p data-start="1425" data-end="1591"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">In addition to examining video evidence, police are collecting statements from college faculty, students, and security personnel as part of the ongoing investigation.</span></p>
<p data-start="1593" data-end="1903"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The incident has sparked outrage and renewed concern over women&rsquo;s safety, particularly within educational institutions. The matter has drawn sharp political criticism, with Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari condemning the incident and accusing the state government of failing to maintain law and order.</span></p>
<p data-start="1905" data-end="2197"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">He alleged that the ruling Trinamool Congress would attempt to downplay the incident. "Now the Chief Minister will call it a love affair or term it a minor event. She may even announce compensation, but this cannot hide the truth. She has no moral right to continue in office,&rdquo; Adhikari said.</span></p>
<p data-start="2199" data-end="2408" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node=""><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">At the time of this report, there was no official response from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee or any Trinamool Congress leaders. The Chief Minister is currently in Digha attending the Ratha Yatra festivities.</span></p>
