Who will protect her (victim)?” he asked reporters on Friday.Meanwhile, MLA Mitra too sparked controversy, saying that the crime would not have taken place if the woman would not have gone to the scene. “…if someone calls you when the college is closed offering you a position in the unit, then don't go, nothing good will come of it," Mitra said, leading to the BJP slamming the leaders' remarks. “This is victim-blaming, plain and vile,” Amit Malviya, BJP's West Bengal co-incharge, said.
