Overview
- On July 7, South Calcutta Law College will resume limited academic operations under police oversight, allowing only staff and students with valid ID cards to enter and keeping the guard’s room and union room sealed.
- The Alipore court has extended police custody of prime accused Monojit Mishra, his two student accomplices and security guard Pinaki Banerjee until July 8 after noting inconsistencies in testimony.
- Detectives have conducted a 3D forensic mapping of campus spaces and reconstructed the assault locations to corroborate the survivor’s account of the three-hour rape.
- Authorities have seized the minutes of recent governing body meetings, attendance logs and multiple guards’ mobile phones to uncover why prior complaints against Mishra went unaddressed.
- Students are pressing the college to deploy women security personnel, establish an independent grievance cell and implement robust safety reforms to prevent future threats.
