If I have said anything wrong, I ask her to forgive me. I will render countless obeisances at her feet. But I ask her to help my daughter get justice," the father told the media.The ‘Aurangzeb rule’ remarkIt was on Monday that he criticised Mamata Banerjee's remarks on his daughter's case. The CM had said that “women should not venture out at night”."It seems Bengal is under the rule of Aurangzeb. I want to take my daughter back to Odisha. Her life comes first, career later," he had said.The father remained firm on taking his daughter back home to Odisha once the doctors who are treating her declared her fit.

But that depends on the state administration as well," he said.The Durgapur rape caseThe second-year MBBS student was allegedly raped when she had gone out of the private medical college campus with a male friend to fetch food on the evening of October 10.The investigation into the alleged rape took a dramatic turn on Tuesday after the Bengal police arrested her male classmate, the sixth person to be held in the case, and claimed that the assault appeared to have been carried out by a single accused, HT reported earlier.Police have so far arrested six people — including the friend in the latest twist to the case — for their alleged involvement in the crime, which has sparked a huge political uproar in the state.The classmate, a resident of Malda district, was detained on October 11 and arrested on Tuesday after investigators found “glaring inconsistencies” in his statements.His arrest came hours after Asansol-Durgapur Police commissioner Sunil Kumar Choudhary ruled out gangrape, saying, “Investigation and medical reports have so far indicated the involvement of only one person. The roles of the others are being reviewed. The friend of the victim is not above suspicion.”
