NEW DELHI, June 28 — Indian police have arrested three men accused of gang raping a law student in Kolkata, officials said yesterday, a case that has reignited anger in a city still scarred by the rape and murder of a doctor last year.<\/p>\n

The survivor said she was assaulted on Wednesday evening inside a room on the college premises, Indian media reported, with the three accused including two current and one former student.<\/p>\n

The All India Trinamool Congress (AITC), the ruling party in West Bengal state, said the “full weight of the law will be brought to bear”.<\/p>\n

The case again highlights the chronic issue of sexual violence in the world’s most populous country, where an average of nearly 90 rapes a day were reported in 2022.<\/p>\n

It has also sparked fresh political clashes between the AITC and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).<\/p>\n

The BJP accused the AITC-led state government of failing to protect women.<\/p>\n

West Bengal had become a “breeding ground for crimes against women”, the BJP said in a statement. “State machinery continues to fail its daughters”.<\/p>\n

The AITC rejected the accusations.<\/p>\n

The assault comes after a Kolkata court in January sentenced the rapist and murderer of a 31-year-old doctor to life in prison.<\/p>\n

Her killing in August 2024 at a state-run hospital in Kolkata triggered protests, with candlelight marches and nationwide outrage over the continuing violence against women.<\/p>\n

The brutality of that attack drew comparisons to the 2012 gang rape and murder of a young woman on a bus in New Delhi, a crime that shocked the country and led to widespread demonstrations. — AFP<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
