Woman Allegedly Gang Raped on Her Birthday in Kolkata; Accused Remain Missing
A distressing incident has surfaced from Kolkata, where a 20 year old woman alleges that she was gang raped by two of her acquaintances during her birthday celebration in the Regent Park area. The accused, identified as Chandan Mallick and Dwip (Deep) Biswas, vanished soon after the ordeal, prompting an urgent manhunt by law enforcement.
According to the survivor from Haridevpur, she had known Chandan for a few months. He presented himself as a leader of a Durga Puja committee in South Kolkata and introduced her to Deep, promising her involvement in community activities. On the evening of her birthday, Chandan and Deep invited her to Deep’s flat under the guise of celebration. After sharing a meal, the atmosphere turned sinister when they allegedly locked the door and assaulted her. The young woman managed to escape the following morning around 10:30 AM, returning home to report the crime.
Her family promptly filed a complaint with the Haridevpur police the same day. A formal investigation was launched, and a First Information Report (FIR) was registered under applicable legal provisions. Police are now actively searching for the two accused, appealing to anyone with information to come forward.
The case is particularly alarming given the manner in which trust was allegedly betrayed, turning what was meant to be a celebratory event into a traumatic violation. The accused, who were perceived as familiar faces and gatekeepers to cultural involvement, now stand accused of shattering that trust in a horrifying manner.
As the search intensifies, the community watches closely. The survivor’s ordeal is a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities even in seemingly safe settings, and highlights the urgent need for empathetic law enforcement and swift justice.
