Odisha: 23-year-old medical student gang-raped in West Bengal
A 23-year-old MBBS student from Odisha was allegedly gang-raped on October 10, 2025, near her private medical college in Durgapur, West Bengal.
She had gone out for food with a male friend who left her after they were followed by three men.
The attackers dragged her into a forest, where two more joined and one raped her while threatening her life if she called for help.
Three suspects arrested, friend named by victim's family
The accused took her phone and ₹5,000 before fleeing.
She is currently in stable condition at the hospital with her mother by her side.
Police registered a case under gang rape charges and have detained several people—including the friend named by the victim's family—for questioning.
By October 12, three suspects were arrested as police review CCTV footage.
Students protested against the college's lack of action, while officials promised full support and quick investigation.
The National Commission for Women has demanded a detailed report within five days, and Odisha's Chief Minister called for swift justice for the survivor's family.
