They are seeking an investigation under the supervision of the court and steps to ensure security in colleges across West Bengal.

Drawing attention of a division bench presided by Justice Soumen Sen, the three advocates sought permission of the court to file separate PILs over the alleged gang rape of the law student.

The bench granted permission to the lawyers to file the petitions.

The matters are likely to be taken up for hearing later this week, one of the lawyers who moved the court said.

The survivor has alleged that she was gang-raped inside the South Kolkata Law College on June 25.
