West Bengal Law Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya on Monday told the Assembly that a charge sheet and a supplementary chargesheet have been filed in the 2013 Kamduni rape case.

The State government has nothing to do with it now, since the case is sub judice, she said.

The minister was replying to CPI (M) member Anisur Rahaman’s query about why the culprits in the case were not punished even after two years.

On June 7, 2013, a 20-year-old college student was allegedly abducted, gang-raped and murdered in Kamduni, near Barasat, about 20 km from Kolkata.
