​Media trials in rape cases hamper investigation, should be stopped: Mamata Banerjee

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee urges media to halt trials in rape cases, stressing it hampers investigations. She demands the Kultali rape-murder case, involving a 10-year-old, be tried under the POCSO Act, ensuring capital punishment for culprits within three months. Protests erupt in South 24 Parganas, with BJP criticizing women’s safety under her administration.
