·       In Durgapur gang-rape case

·       Rozina Sheikh tracked down her fugitive brother under Andal Highway and handed him over, declaring, “Even if he denies it, he was there.”

Durgapur Molestation: In a heart-wrenching turn to the Durgapur gang rape case that’s gripped India, a brave sister lured her own brother – the prime suspect – straight into police hands, saying even if he didn’t act, “he kept bad company.” Just days later, cops dropped a bombshell: no gang involvement, just one attacker and the victim’s classmate is now the sixth arrest after his shaky story crumbled under CCTV proof. This Odisha student’s nightmare near her medical college campus screams for better safety in West Bengal. As protests rage and Governor CV Ananda Bose slams “systemic failure,” here’s the fresh, unfiltered breakdown boosting calls for real change.

Details & Context

Picture this: October 10, 2025, around 7:58 PM. A 23-year-old second-year MBBS student from Jaleswar, Odisha, steps out of IQ City Medical College in Durgapur with her classmate Wasif Ali for a simple dinner. They’re strolling down the eerie Mohanbaghan Avenue – a dark, jungle-fringed stretch locals avoid after sunset. Suddenly, shadows emerge: four to five young men pounce, snatch her phone, drag her into the bushes and unleash hell. She fights, screams but it’s brutal – clothes torn, beaten, assaulted. Her friend bolts in panic but circles back later, rushing her to the hospital. That’s the story that exploded online, sparking fury over Durgapur molestation risks and Bengal’s rising women’s safety alarms.

·       Fast-forward to arrests: By October 13, police nab three – Sheikh Nasiruddin, Sheikh Reajuddin and Firdos Sheikh – all locals from Bijira village with alleged ties to Trinamool Congress (TMC) youth wings. Two more follow on October 14: Apu Bauri and the kingpin, Sheikh Safiqul (aka Sfik), a 25-year-old Bijira resident. But here's the drama – Safiqul didn’t go down easy. Hiding out, he dodged raids on relatives’ homes. Enter his sister, Rozina Sheikh, 28, a married woman from a nearby village. Shaken by news of the attack, she tips off cops via his in-laws’ phone trace. “I called from another number. A guy picked up, said a ‘bhaiya’ had called. I spoke to him – he denied his name but begged not to surrender, claiming innocence. I said, even if you didn’t touch her, you were there with those thugs,” Rozina later told investigators.

·       She sets a trap: Lures him to Andal Highway underpass for a “family meet.” He shows, trembling. Rozina flags down a white police van she’d summoned – handcuffs click and he’s done. “Our family can’t carry this shame. He must face the law,” she declared, her voice steady amid tears. X (formerly Twitter) lit up with praise: Users like @MasalaBai called it “heartening,” while @Ankita84sia hailed her as a “tribe warrior” transcending blood for justice. Social media buzz from #DurgapurRape threads to Reddit rants, amplified her story, drawing 50K+ views in hours on platforms like @News18 and @NDTV feeds.

·       Context deepens the horror: Durgapur, an industrial hub 150 km from Kolkata, boasts medical hubs but shadows of unsafe spots like this avenue. Victim’s dad, a daily wager back home, smelled foul play early. “Suspicion on that friend from day one. He might be linked or his buddies,” he told media outside the station, his words echoing in viral clips. TMC links.? All five hail from a village where party muscle flexes – Nasiruddin and Safiqul as booth-level workers, per BJP claims fueling street protests. Governor Bose’s October 14 meet with the survivor.? He vowed “ground zero” probes, blasting Mamata Banerjee’s regime as a “soft state” on crime.
