In the wake of the recent alleged rape at Kolkata’s Law College, in which the main accused is a former Trinamool Congress (TMC) student leader and a casual staffer, the West Bengal government has moved to implement a law — passed in 2022 — to centralise the recruitment of Group C and D staff in government-aided colleges through the West Bengal College Service Commission.

Swiss diplomat’s rape: Never solved, why 2003 case that rattled Delhi, embarrassed India, has found itself back under spotlight

It was a case that had rattled Delhi over two decades ago, and raised a question: Is the country’s capital safe for women? Any woman?On the night of October 14, 2003, a 28-year-old woman, returning to her car after a movie screening at the Siri Fort Auditorium in South Delhi, was overpowered by two men in the dimly lit parking lot.
