**Headline:** Three Arrested in Shocking Gang-Rape Incident of Law Student in Kolkata
In a disturbing incident that has ignited widespread outrage, three individuals, including a prominent student leader from the Trinamool Congress Chhatra Parishad (TMCP), have been arrested for the gang-rape of a 24-year-old first-year law student at South Calcutta Law College. The incident, which occurred earlier this week, came to light on Friday, prompting significant public outcry.
According to senior officials from the Kolkata Police, a medical examination of the victim confirmed her allegations, revealing signs of forced penetration, along with bite marks and scratch injuries. The accused have been identified as Monojit Mishra, Zaib Ahmed, and Pramit Mukherjee.
**Details of the Incident**
Police reports indicate that Pramit Mukherjee allegedly raped the victim while Monojit Mishra and Zaib Ahmed stood guard outside the room. Monojit Mishra, 31, is a former unit president of TMCP at the college and an alumnus. He was apprehended near the campus on Wednesday, alongside 19-year-old Zaib Ahmed, a first-year student from the Topsia area.
Mishra, who comes from a middle-class Bengali family, has been a long-time supporter of TMCP. Despite graduating years ago, he remained actively involved in campus politics and was known for his informal influence among students. Sources indicate that he often acted as a mediator between students and local political figures, although he had previously faced complaints regarding campus indiscipline and intimidation.
**The Accused**
Pramit Mukherjee, the third accused, is a 20-year-old second-year student who was arrested from his home on Thursday. Police have seized mobile phones from both Zaib and Pramit for forensic analysis. While Pramit is not known for political activism, he reportedly had connections with some union members and is described by friends as reserved and academically average.
Zaib Ahmed, the youngest of the trio, had recently joined the college. Peers describe him as soft-spoken and easily influenced, having begun to participate in college union activities. Investigators are currently looking into whether Pramit’s involvement was direct or if he acted under peer pressure.
All three individuals have been presented before a court and remanded to four days in police custody as the investigation continues.
