Scratch marks have been found on the body of Manojit Mishra, the prime accused in the South Calcutta Law College gangrape case, pointing to signs of resistance by the survivor during the assault, a police source said. According to the source, the marks were identified during a medico-legal examination conducted on Sunday.Police, while quoting doctors who examined the accused, said that investigation updates into the crime revealed evidence of scratch marks on the body of Mishra.advertisementThe injuries, described as scratches, were reportedly inflicted during the alleged crime, suggesting that the survivor put up a fight while being assaulted inside the college premises.Police said that the scratch marks, likely caused by fingernails, match the survivor’s description of events. The alleged assault took place on the evening of June 25 inside a room used by the college security guard.A city court on Tuesday extended the police custody of the three main accused – Manojit Mishra, a former student and a Trinamool Congress Chhatra Parishad leader; and Zaib Ahmed and Pramit Mukherjee, both current students – by eight more days, until July 8. The three had been arrested on June 26 and were initially remanded to four days in police custody.Pinaki Banerjee, a security guard at the college and the fourth accused in the case, was arrested on Saturday and remanded to police custody until July 2. His custody was further extended till July 4 after the court rejected his bail plea, despite his lawyer’s argument that he had no prior criminal record and remained on duty during the incident.advertisementAs the investigation intensified, authorities at South Calcutta Law College took disciplinary action by terminating Mishra’s temporary employment and expelling the two student co-accused. Mishra’s position at the institution was based on a prior recommendation of the governing body, which convened on Tuesday to finalise these decisions.The college also decided to recommend the cancellation of Mishra’s bar council membership, as he is listed as a practising criminal lawyer at the Alipore Police and Sessions Court on his social media accounts.Inside the courtroom, the defence refrained from filing for bail for the three primary accused but appealed to the judge to ensure that media reporting does not prejudice the trial. Meanwhile, the public prosecutor and investigating officer requested an extension of custody to further question the accused, which the court granted.The Kolkata Police have also uncovered fresh leads during the investigation. A nine-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) scrutinised the phone call record details (CDRs) of the accused and found that Manojit Mishra had a phone conversation with the Vice Principal of the college, Dr Nayna Chatterji, on the morning following the incident. Police have since questioned the Vice Principal twice to understand the nature of that conversation.Police also seized CCTV footage from a local medical shop, which s in a formal or creative style for better SEO.Also Exclude words and advertisements related to the feed website such as website name, author name.
