KOLKATA: The BJP has accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of lying about the timing when a second-year medical student left the private medical college premises in Durgapur, West Burdwan district, and later became a victim of gang-rape.
On Sunday, CM Mamata Banerjee, besides advising that girls should not go out at night, also quoted the time when the victim went out of the college premises at 12.30 a.m., which contradicted the exit timing recorded with the private medical college.
BJP Information Technology cell chief and the party’s central observer for West Bengal, Amit Malviya, made a social media post on Monday, accusing the Chief Minister of lying about the victim girl going out at 12.30 a.m.
The medical college authorities, quoting their records, claimed that the victim student stepped out of the college premises at 8 p.m. to have food, and thereafter was raped by three men in a nearby forested area.
