**Kolkata Police Files Chargesheet in South Calcutta Law College Gangrape Case**
The Kolkata Police has submitted a comprehensive 658-page chargesheet in the gangrape case involving South Calcutta Law College, identifying four individuals, including the main suspect, Monojit Mishra, a suspended leader of the Trinamool Congress Chhatra Parishad (TMCP). The chargesheet, prepared by the Detective Department in collaboration with Kasba Police Station, is founded on extensive technical, scientific, and circumstantial evidence collected throughout the investigation.
Monojit Mishra, a 31-year-old criminal lawyer and former student of the college, was arrested on June 25 alongside two current students, Pramit Mukherjee and Zaib Ahmed, following allegations from a first-year law student who claimed she was gangraped on the college premises. A fourth suspect, Pinaki Banerjee, the college’s security guard, was apprehended later during the investigation. All four suspects are currently in judicial custody.
According to police sources, the chargesheet highlights three critical pieces of forensic and digital evidence:
1. **DNA Evidence**: Forensic analysis confirmed a DNA match between Monojit Mishra and samples taken from the survivor’s clothing.
2. **Video Evidence**: Mobile phone footage retrieved from the accused clearly shows the act of sexual assault, establishing their direct involvement.
3. **CCTV Footage**: Surveillance cameras around the law college captured the movements of both the accused and the victim, including footage of the victim being forcibly led into the guard’s room.
These pieces of evidence significantly bolster the survivor’s written complaint, which prompted the registration of an FIR at Kasba Police Station. The main suspects, Mishra, Mukherjee, and Ahmed, were arrested within six hours of the complaint, while Banerjee was later taken into custody based on findings from the Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed by the Kolkata Police.
The survivor, a 24-year-old student, alleged that she was raped by Mishra after rejecting his marriage proposal, with the other two students reportedly acting as lookouts and recording the incident on their mobile devices.
In light of these serious allegations, the case has garnered significant attention, highlighting the urgent need for justice and accountability in such incidents.
