Prime accused Monojit Mishra remains in police custody as investigations into the South Calcutta Law College gangrape case continue.

Overview

  • The Alipore court extended police custody of all four accused until July 8 to allow continued forensic and evidentiary work
  • Investigators seized the morning-shift guard’s mobile phone to determine whether he was alerted to the assault before handing over to the on-duty guard
  • Detectives are examining minutes of successive college governing-body meetings and appointment records to assess institutional lapses that allowed Monojit Mishra’s role despite pending criminal cases
  • Forensic teams are analysing call-detail records, mobile-tower data and digital devices to verify premeditation and reconstruct the timeline of the June 25 attack
  • South Calcutta Law College will reopen on July 7 with only designated students and staff admitted under strict ID checks, with the union and guard rooms sealed and a police unit deployed
