Kolkata law college rape victim called her lawyer in tears to tell him she had been raped. Manojit Mishra, Pramit Banerjee and Zaib Ahmed had earlier been arrested by the Kolkata Police. Police said that they had arrested Pinaki Banerji, 55, a guard of the South Calcutta Law College, marking the fourth arrest in the case. Mishra’s lawyer, Azam Khan, said his client was not a part of the crime and that he was being framed because of a political tussle. The victim had gone to the college to fill up examination forms for the semester exams due on July 16.
While on ABP Ananda’s live show, the student’s teacher and lawyer — Arindam Kanjilal — shared that the rape survivor was howling, and in tears when she had called him around 11:25 pm to inform him about the incident.
“My pants were stripped off, and then my upper garments, and then my innerware,” the advocate quoted the rape survivor’s harrowing account on live television.
How the incident unfolded The woman is a first year law student, and had visited the college to fill up examination forms for the semester exams due on July 16, said the advocate, recounting his client’s account.
“Sir I went to fill the examination forms. All the formalities were completed by around 3:30 pm, and then I was sitting with my friends,” the student had told her advocate.
The lawyer stated that the woman was first taken to the Student Union room of the college, where she was molested badly. Next, she was forcefully taken to the security guard’s room where she was raped, and tortured.
