A police complaint was filed by the woman's mother. She claimed that her daughter was offered a car lift by a young man on her way back home from college and she had accepted it.
Inside the vehicle the woman was sexually assaulted by three youths who were in it and was later abandoned in a traumatic condition at Amatali bypass. Her family rushed to the place after being alerted by relatives and rushed her to the hospital as she had fainted by then.
As the news of the incident spread, BJP state general secretary Papiya Dutta along with leaders of the party's Mohila Morcha went to the hospital and inquired about the woman's health.
Datta said she had gone to the hospital at the instruction of Chief Minister Manik Saha. "We strongly condemn the crime and demand maximum punishment to the accused persons," she said.
The prompt police action showed the chief minister's commitment of zero tolerance to crimes against women. "We assure that the party and the government will stand behind the victim and her family," the BJP leader added.&nbsp;
