Authorities in Durgapur, West Bengal, have launched an investigation into the alleged sexual assault of a 20-year-old second-year medical student from Odisha. The incident reportedly took place on Friday night near her private medical college campus.
According to police statements, the student had gone out for dinner with a friend when she was reportedly left alone. Three unidentified men then allegedly snatched her mobile phone and subsequently took her to a secluded area outside the campus, where the assault is reported to have occurred. The alleged perpetrators also reportedly demanded money for the return of her phone and issued threats of severe consequences if she disclosed the incident.
The student is currently receiving medical treatment at a local hospital. Her parents, who were notified by her friends, traveled to Durgapur on Saturday morning and filed a formal complaint with the local police. Investigators have since questioned the student’s friend and are actively seeking CCTV footage to aid in the ongoing inquiry.
