West Bengal Assembly unanimously passes state anti-rape Bill

The West Bengal Assembly on Tuesday unanimously passed the state anti-rape Bill after Opposition lend full support to it. West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee hailed the state's new Bill as 'model, historic.' The Bill was introduced by Law Minister Moloy Ghatak at a special session. The chief minister also expressed condolences for the junior doctor who was allegedly raped and killed at Kolkata's RG Kar hospital last month. The legislation aims to strengthen protections for women and children by revising and introducing new provisions related to rape and sexual offences. Leader of Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, alleged that the state government moved the bill to divert attention from the public anger and protests over the murder of the junior doctor. The draft legislation seeks capital punishment for persons convicted of rape if their actions result in the victim's death or leave her in a vegetative state. Additionally, it stipulates a life sentence without parole for those convicted of rape.
