Lawyer urges CBI probe in Kolkata rape case

After a female advocate was allegedly raped in Kolkata, Advocate Satyam Singh Rajput has asked the Chief Justice of India for a Supreme Court-monitored CBI investigation to ensure fair and timely justice.
He's also calling out TMC leaders Kalyan Banerjee and Madan Mitra for victim-shaming comments, urging accountability for their words.

TL;DR

Interim compensation, victim's safety

Rajput wants strong protections for the victim, her family, and witnesses.
He's urging West Bengal to boost safety in schools—think 24/7 CCTV, women's safety cells, emergency response systems, and staff background checks.
He's also pushing for ₹50 lakh as interim compensation to help cover the victim's medical and legal costs.
