Incident Sparks Public Outrage
According to the police complaint, the accused not only raped the victim but also beat her with a hockey stick and recorded the act to threaten her with blackmail.
The three arrested are Manojit Mishra (a staff member), 19-year-old student Zaib Ahmed, and 20-year-old student Pramit Mukherjee. All were remanded to four-day police custody after court proceedings.
Police seized their mobile phones for forensic analysis. Preliminary investigations confirm that the victim’s medical examination supports her allegations of gangrape and assault.
Victim’s Statement: Assault, Threats, and Panic
The student stated, “They hit me with a hockey stick, locked the college gate, and filmed everything. When I begged them to stop, I was told the video would be released online if I told anyone.” She added that she touched their feet, cried, and pleaded, but they refused to let her go.
She was finally able to inform her parents, who immediately approached the police.
Political Reactions and Campus Security Questions
The case has sparked political debate, with BJP and TMC accusing each other of shielding the accused. Public anger is mounting over how such a crime could occur inside an educational institution.
Authorities are being questioned for negligence and inadequate campus security, while students across Kolkata are planning protests demanding justice and protection.
Lawyer Denies Allegations
The lawyer of accused Manojit Mishra, Azam Khan, claimed, “These are politically motivated, baseless allegations. My client is innocent.” However, police maintain that the arrests were based on clear evidence and the survivor’s detailed written complaint.
