NCW recommends special exam for Durgapur gang-rape survivor

India Oct 13, 2025

The National Commission for Women (NCW) has recommended special academic and safety support for a 23-year-old medical student who was allegedly gang-raped in Durgapur, West Bengal.
Following a fact-finding visit to Durgapur, NCW found she was dealing with serious trauma that could disrupt her studies, so they've asked the National Medical Commission to arrange a special examination and even suggested a transfer if needed.

NCW urges for better campus safety measures

To help her feel safer on campus, the NCW also wants better lighting, more CCTV cameras, and a police outpost set up.
They're pushing for these changes so she can continue her education without fear—and are urging quick action to ensure justice is served.
