Bhubaneswar, Odisha – Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida met the chairperson of the National Commission for Women (NCW) to discuss a shocking gang‑rape case that took place on Friday in Durgapur, West Bengal. The victim is a second‑year medical student from Jaleswar, Balasore district, who was attacked after leaving campus for dinner with a male friend.

Parida posted on X that the NCW’s fact‑finding team has issued a set of strong recommendations for the West Bengal government. The report calls for a fair investigation, swift prosecution, better safety for the victim, medical care, academic relief, a security audit, and strict institutional accountability.

The case drew national attention. Earlier Monday evening, the BJP Mahila Morcha staged a protest in Bhubaneswar and burned an effigy of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. “It is shameful that the CM, a woman, showed no empathy for our girl,” said Aishwarya Biswal, the Mahila Morcha president. She warned that the state’s failure to protect women is part of a wider rise in gender‑based violence. The congress‑aligned Nari Nyay Vahini also protested, demanding justice for the student.
