Overview

• Police arrested the male classmate after a videographed crime‑scene reconstruction, booking him under the same gang‑rape and common‑intention provisions as the five men already in custody.
• In a magistrate statement, the student said only one person assaulted her, and sources said she alleged the classmate was the assailant.
• The five earlier suspects — Sheikh Safiqul, Sheikh Nasiruddin, Apu Bauri, Firdous Sheikh, and Sheikh Riazuddin — have been remanded and charged under BNS Sections 70(1) and 3(5).
• Officers say college CCTV shows the student returning with her friend calmly, clothes intact, and not seeking help, which they contend conflicts with her later account.
• Police say arrests relied on call records and a recovered phone linked to a payment demand, with additional FIR sections added for snatching, extortion, and retaining stolen property, and no prior criminal antecedents found for the five men.
