'My daughter won't continue study in West Bengal': Durgapur gangrape victim's father demands CBI probe

Following the alleged gang-rape of the second-year medical student from Odisha near a private medical college in Durgapur in Paschim Bardhaman district of West Bengal, the victim's father on Tuesday stated that his daughter will not continue with her studies in West Bengal. 

The victim's father also said that a better investigation could be conducted if the case is handed over to the CBI.

"My daughter is stable. Doctors have not spoken with me directly, but her condition has improved. My daughter will not continue with her studies here (in West Bengal). They (Odisha Women's Commission) spoke with me, and I requested them to help with her admission to a good college. They have given me assurance. They also met my daughter and offered support," said the victim's father.

Responding to the arrest of five accused in connection with the heinous crime so far, the victim's father said that it would be better if the case were handed over to the CBI.

"The investigation is going well. It will be even better if it is handed over to the CBI. But there should be strict action. We are yet to get the medical report," he added.

Notably, police have arrested as many as five persons in connection with the case so far, including a former college security guard, a hospital staffer, a civic worker, and an unemployed man.
