In a dramatic twist to what was initially reported as a heinous crime, the alleged rape of a student from one of Kolkata’s premier business schools is now facing serious questions over its legitimacy. The father of the student has come forward with startling claims, alleging that the police coerced his daughter into filing a false First Information Report (FIR).
Background of the Case
Earlier this week, the case sparked massive outrage across West Bengal and on social media platforms, after reports emerged that a female student of a reputed Kolkata-based B-School had filed a complaint of rape against an unidentified man. The FIR, lodged at a central Kolkata police station, detailed allegations of sexual assault after the victim was reportedly found injured near her hostel premises.
However, new developments are shifting the narrative dramatically.
Father Alleges Police Coercion
Speaking to local media, the girl's father claimed that his daughter “wasn’t raped, but had merely fallen from an auto-rickshaw.” He further alleged that the police “mentally pressured” his daughter into lodging a rape complaint.
“She was in trauma and pain after the fall. But she never mentioned rape to us. The police made her write those statements. Now our entire family is facing harassment and public shaming,” he said.
The father also claimed that the family has CCTV footage and medical evidence to support their side of the story, and he is demanding an independent investigation.
Police Response and Investigation;
The Kolkata Police have not officially responded to the father’s accusations, but sources within the department have indicated that the case is now under review. The initial FIR has triggered internal scrutiny, and top officers are reportedly verifying the sequence of events, including how the complaint was registered and whether due protocol was followed.
Meanwhile, a senior police officer, speaking anonymously, stated:
“We are treating this matter with utmost seriousness. If there is any evidence that the complaint was taken under duress, appropriate action will be taken against responsible personnel.”
B-School Reacts with Caution;
The elite business school where the student is enrolled has released a brief statement urging for patience while the facts are uncovered.
“We stand by our student’s well-being and await the outcome of the official inquiry. We appeal to the public to refrain from speculation,” said the institution’s spokesperson.
Public Divided Amid Conflicting Narratives;
The sensational nature of the case has divided public opinion. While some continue to stand in support of the student and demand that authorities act responsibly, others now urge restraint, warning against the dangers of premature conclusions in sensitive matters like sexual assault.
Women's rights activists have called for a transparent investigation, emphasizing that either outcome—rape or forced FIR—represents a serious breakdown in institutional processes.
Conclusion
As this high-profile case continues to unfold, it serves as a stark reminder of the challenges in balancing sensitivity, truth, and legal fairness in cases of alleged sexual assault. Whether it turns out to be a case of coercion, miscommunication, or a genuine crime, the pursuit of truth remains paramount.
