Meanwhile, the Calcutta High Court has ordered the transfer of the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The court directed the Kolkata Police to hand over the case diary to the central agency by this evening and all other documents by 10am tomorrow.
The body of the postgraduate trainee was found on Friday morning, and a civic volunteer was arrested in connection with the case on Saturday.
Condemning the incident, Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction) MP Supriya Sule expressed confidence that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will act quickly to ensure justice for the victim's family.
"A lot of such incidents happen across the country, and we condemn all of them. We believe that Mamata Banerjee will take swift action, and the family must get justice through a fast-track court. We couldn't save our daughter from this incident, but such incidents must not happen again," said Supriya Sule.
