Kolkata law college security guard arrested in student’s gang-rape case
Kolkata, Jun 28 : The Kolkata Police on Saturday arrested the security guard of South Kolkata Law College in connection with the gang-rape of a first-year law student on the college premises. This is the fourth arrest in the case, following the earlier arrests of three individuals, including the prime accused — a Trinamool Congress leader.
The survivor was allegedly assaulted for several hours inside the security guard’s room on June 15. The incident came to light on Friday, sparking widespread outrage.
According to the complaint, the prime accused — a former student of the college and a practising criminal lawyer — raped the 24-year-old student inside the guard room while two current students stood outside it. The survivor alleged that the security guard was also made to sit outside the room after the main gate of the college was locked.
The prime accused, Monojit Mishra, who is a former unit president of the TMCP at the college and an alumnus, was arrested on Wednesday, while co-accused Zaib Ahmed, 19, a first-year student, and Pramit Mukherjee, a second-year student, were arrested on Thursday.
