In a symbolic protest against over the "silence and inaction" of the West Bengal Commission for Women in the Kolkata law college student gang rape case, BJP Yuva Morcha supporters on Wednesday staged a mock search for its chairperson outside the commission's office in Salt Lake.

Carrying lanterns, the protesters walked around the premises, pretending to search for the commission's chairperson, Leena Gangopadhyay. They alleged that the organisation was "missing in action" during crucial times when intervention was needed, reported PTI.

"We are looking for the state women's commission chairperson because we did not see any visible response from them, and we are also unable to locate them after this heinous crime," a protester stated.
