Agartala, July 08, 2025: In response to the recent gang rape incident at Kolkata Law College, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has submitted a detailed report prepared by its monitoring committee to BJP National President J.P. Nadda. The report was formally handed over by Tripura’s former Chief Minister and Lok Sabha MP Biplab Kumar Deb along with other committee members on Tuesday.
Releasing the report publicly, J.P. Nadda strongly condemned the deteriorating law and order situation in West Bengal, holding the state government accountable for its “utter indifference” to the safety and dignity of women.
“This report clearly reveals the complete breakdown of law and order in West Bengal,” Nadda said. “From Sandeshkhali to R.G. Kar Hospital, and now this horrific incident at a law college in Kolkata – the picture is the same everywhere. The silence, inaction and repeated attempts by the state government to shield the accused are deeply troubling,” he added.
Committee member and former IPS officer Dr. Satya Pal Singh also spoke on the findings, expressing deep concern over the state’s handling of crimes against women. “The report submitted to our national president highlights the sheer lawlessness prevailing in Bengal. It urges the Central government to step in and take concrete measures to stabilize the worsening situation,” Singh said.
Singh further pointed out the alarming irregularities observed during their visit to the college and the police’s handling of the case. “This incident has outraged the entire nation. A law college – meant to produce custodians of justice – has become the site of a barbaric crime. Shockingly, in a state where the Chief Minister is a woman, most cases of atrocities against women reportedly don’t even lead to FIRs. And even when FIRs are filed, proper investigation is lacking,” he stated.
He alleged major lapses in police procedures. “During our visit, we weren’t sure if we’d even be allowed to meet the victim’s family or see the crime spot. We met with the Kolkata Police Commissioner. In my 45 years of service in police administration, I have never seen anything like this – the names of the accused were removed from the complaint, with only the initials used. Worse, the initials of the prime accused and co-accused were interchanged,” Singh revealed.
According to BJP sources, the party plans to step up its agitation in the coming days, demanding the immediate arrest and strict punishment of the perpetrators. The report is likely to be used as a key tool in mounting pressure on the West Bengal government.
