2013 Park Street rape survivor dies in Kolkata
Kolkata, Mar 13 (IBNS): The 'Park Street rape' victim, Suzette Jordan, who was bold enough to reveal her identity and take on the West Bengal government for her fight to get justice, died at a hospital in Kolkata on Friday.
She was 40.
The mother of two, belonging to the Anglo-Indian community, had been in hospital for three days.
In 2013, she revealed her identity to the world and marched on the streets of Kolkata to protest against a series of rapes and murders in the state.
She had said that she was sexually assaulted at gunpoint inside the moving car after she was given a lift in the vehicle from Park Street area in Kolkata on the Feb 5-6 night last year.
After the woman identified a wrong set of people as her tormentors owing to impersonation by the gang, the Mamata Banerjee government first called it a fabricated incident though a woman police official later cracked the case and several were arrested even as Kadir managed to escape.
A lady IPS officer of Kolkata Police, Damayanti Sen, who had cracked the case and said a rape indeed took place, was later removed from her position as the joint commissioner of police (crime) triggering more controversy over the incident.
