Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar, on Monday, slammed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government over the rising incidents of crime against women in the state after the case of an alleged gang rape of a law student within her college premises in Kolkata.

Speaking to the media, Majumdar pointed out that in the past eight months, two such incidents have occurred; first, the RG Kar rape and murder case and the recent rape of a student at a law college in South Kolkata.

"In a gap of eight months, two such incidents have occurred in West Bengal. One is RG Kar and the other is in Kasba, the town in South Calcutta Law College. The girl is nineteen years old and a first-year student. She was raped. Despite being a woman chief minister, such incidents continue to occur repeatedly," he said.
