In the midst of the outrage and politics over the rape of a woman in a Kolkata law college, the parents of the R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital rape and murder victim stated on Saturday that the law student's parents should also be ready to fight a protracted legal battle.

- AGENCIES

Their comments came days after a Kolkata-based law college student became a victim of rape within the college premises on 25 June evening.

They stated that the woman's parents should also be ready for a long battle considering the influential backing enjoyed by the three accused in the case.

The mother of the junior doctor who became a victim of a ghastly rape and murder in August last year, expressed apprehension that like the case of her daughter, there might be attempts to protect the accused in the law college rape case also in the due course.
