Two of the six accused in the October 10 Durgapur gang rape case – Sk Riyazuddin and Sk Safiq – have filed a plea before a local court seeking permission to confess their involvement in the crime.

Police officials said that if the court accepts their request, the duo may be treated as approvers during the trial.

The case involves a 23-year-old MBBS student from a private medical college in Durgapur, who was allegedly gang raped shortly after stepping out of campus with her classmate, Wasef Ali, for dinner. All the six accused –Riyazuddin, Safiq, Nasiruddin Sk, Apu Bauri, Firdaus Sk, and Ali – are currently in custody.
