Protests erupted across Kolkata on Friday following the incident. Opposition parties slammed the ruling TMC over deteriorating law and order. The incident has stirred the country, as a similar incident took place in August last year, when a 31-year-old trainee doctor was raped and murdered in RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata. 

Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari has shared pictures of Mishra, the key accused, with Trinamool national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, the second-in-command after Mamata Banerjee. 

“This incident is not just a crime; it is glaring proof of the Trinamool’s student leaders tarnishing the sanctity of educational institutions,” Adhikari said in a social media post.

The Mamata Banerjee-led TMC has assured that "justice will be served" in the case. West Bengal minister Shashi Panja, addressing a press conference over the gang rape case on Friday, said that the police took immediate action, arresting the three accused within 12 hours of the complaint.
