Prime Accused Arrested Near Deshapriya Park in Kolkata Gangrape Case

The case stems from an FIR alleging a birthday invitation led to an assault at a Regent Park flat.

Investigators were probing whether more people were involved in the alleged crime, the officer added.

Overview

  • Kolkata Police arrested Debanshu Biswas on Thursday night near Deshapriya Park after a tip-off, and officers said he would be produced in court on Friday.
  • Another FIR-named accused, Chandan Malik, was earlier detained at Bardhaman railway station in connection with the case.
  • Police said the survivor filed a complaint at Haridevpur police station naming Malik and his friend Biswas as responsible for the alleged assault.
  • According to the complaint, Malik had presented himself as an organiser of a prominent South Kolkata Durga Puja committee, through whom the survivor later came into contact with Biswas.
  • Investigators are examining whether additional people were involved, with one report saying surveillance of family calls led officers to intercept Biswas around 2:15 am on Deshapriya Park Road.
