To The Point With Preeti Choudhry | Why Was She Out at 12:30 AM? Mamata On Durgapur Gang Rape
This special report details significant political developments in West Bengal and Bihar. In West Bengal, a political firestorm erupted following the alleged gang rape of a medical student in Durgapur. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's subsequent remarks, suggesting private medical colleges should prevent female students from going out at night, led to accusations of victim shaming. The West Bengal Police arrested five accused in the case, and Governor C.V. Ananda Bose visited the survivor. The BJP, led by Suvendu Adhikari, launched a six-day protest against the state government, citing concerns over women's safety. TMC leaders defended the Chief Minister's statement, claiming it was distorted. The report also references Mamata Banerjee's past statements regarding the Park Street and Hanskhali cases. Concurrently, the program examines political developments in Bihar, where a Delhi court framed corruption, conspiracy, and cheating charges against RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family in the IRCTC scam case. Additionally, the report addresses the ongoing speculation surrounding poll strategist Prashant Kishor's potential electoral debut from the Raghopur seat.
