Durgapur Gang Rape Case: Bail Rejected, Fast Track Trial Ordered
In Durgapur, a judge decided that two people accused of crimes related to a medical student's attack cannot be released on bail.
Their bail pleas were denied.
The judge also said the case needs to be tried very quickly, so it's being moved to a special court for fast trials.
The court wants to start the trial as soon as possible, possibly the next day.
All six people accused in the case have been put in jail for another day while the process continues.
The police had already filed a detailed report about what happened, including the charges against everyone involved.
Bail pleas for two accused, Sheikh Riazuddin and Sheikh Shafique, in the Durgapur gang rape case have been rejected.
These two accused are not charged with rape or gang rape but face charges including dacoity.
The sub-divisional court has committed the case for a fast-track trial at the Additional District and Sessions Court.
All six accused have been remanded to judicial custody for another day.
A detailed chargesheet was previously submitted by the police naming all six accused.
The prosecution had requested an immediate trial, which the court granted.
