Overview

  • The Detective Department has assumed control of the probe and secured police custody of Monojit Mishra, co-accused students Zaib Ahmed and Pramit Mukherjee, plus security guard Pinaki Banerjee until July 8.
  • South Calcutta Law College’s governing body terminated Mishra’s contract, expelled the two student defendants and issued show-cause notices to its security agency over lapses.
  • A nine-member Special Investigation Team is interviewing 17 students and reviewing campus surveillance to corroborate the survivor’s account.
  • Investigators obtained a shop receipt and CCTV footage confirming Ahmed bought an inhaler for the victim at 8:29 pm, helping to pinpoint when the assault occurred.
  • Scrutiny of Mishra’s hiring despite prior criminal cases and political links has intensified calls from students for campus governance and safety reforms.
