Overview

  • The Detective Department submitted the case file to the Alipore court within 58 days, comprising roughly 650–658 pages, about 80 witness statements, and comprehensive medical and forensic reports.
  • Four individuals in judicial custody are named: prime accused Monojit Mishra, students Zaib Ahmed and Pramit Mukherjee, and college security guard Pinaki Banerjee.
  • Investigators report a DNA match tying Mishra to samples from the survivor’s clothing, CCTV showing the victim being dragged and held, and obscene clips recovered from phones with voices matched by forensic analysis.
  • The charges invoke multiple Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita provisions including gang rape, wrongful confinement, kidnapping-related offences, criminal conspiracy, and destruction of evidence, along with voyeurism and IT Act sections.
  • The assault is alleged to have occurred on June 25 inside the guard’s room at South Calcutta Law College, with the guard accused of facilitating access; the public prosecutor described the case as fit for a custody trial.
