Monojit Mishra, a key accused in the gangrape of a law student in a Kolkata college, last year shared a video on his facebook page demanding justice for the lady doctor who was raped and murdered in RG Kar Medical College Hospital.

On August 16, Mishra has uploaded a video of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee leading a protest march in Kolkata and wrote on Facebook: "I want the rapist to be hanged. I want justice, not drama. I want justice immediately. I want the culprits to be hanged."

Netizens slammed Mishra, currently arrested in connection with the case, for sharing the video, demanding justice for the doctor.

Law college rape horror

The law student was allegedly raped on the South Calcutta Law College campus in Kolkata's Kasba area on Wednesday between 7:30 pm and 8:50 pm by Monojit Mishra, a 31-year-old alumni and Trinamool Congress functionary, who is now a practising lawyer - and two current students.

The two other accused have been identified as 19-year-old Zaib Ahmed and 20-year-old Pramit Mukhopadhyay. All three have been arrested.

Monojit Mishra is a member of the TMC's student wing, and the BJP has shared photographs of him with senior members of the ruling party, including MP, National General Secretary, and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's nephew, Abhishek Banerjee, as well as Health Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya.

SIT is monitoring the case

The Kolkata Police on Monday said a Special Investigation Team is monitoring the case related to the gangrape of a law student on a college campus in south Kolkata last week.

Sharing an update in the case, the police posted on X: "All the three FIR-named accused persons have been arrested in less than 12 hours. Another accused person has since been arrested based on evidences. Medicolegal examination of the victim and the accused persons have been completed."

"Forensic examination of the place of occurrence has been done. Investigation is being monitored by a special investigation team under the close supervision of senior officers," the police wrote on X.

Kolkata Police said it is committed to ensuring that the perpetrators of the crime face the harshest possible legal action and the victim gets justice at the earliest.

RG Kar Incident

The incident came to light less than a year after a doctor was raped and murdered in Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in 2024.
