Last Updated:
Sanjay Roy, a former police civic volunteer, was found guilty in the case and was awarded life imprisonment till death.
Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape case has taken a new turn with the victim's father expressing strong dissatisfaction with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), pointing out inconsistencies in their investigative reports.
A postgraduate trainee doctor was brutally raped and murdered at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in August 2024. Sanjay Roy, a former police civic volunteer, was found guilty and was awarded life imprisonment till death.
On Tuesday, the father of the victim who was brutally raped and murdered claimed that her mobile number was used after her death, pointing out inconsistencies in the investigative reports of the CBI.
'CBI has presented two drastically different reports in the Calcutta High Court and the Sealdah district Court. We will tell the High Court today that two different status reports are being presented. Even Supreme Court judges could not believe the gravity of the report submitted to them. We had faith in the CBI, but now we are losing all hope," news agency ANI reported.

The victim's father claimed that her mobile phone, which is reportedly in CBI's custody, was accessed to leave a common WhatsApp group. He alleged that the CBI knows the identities of those involved in his daughter's rape and murder but is withholding key information.
'CBI knows the perpetrators behind the rape and murder of my daughter but it is not revealing the details…," he added.
Following the Calcutta High Court's disapproval of the local police investigation, the case was reassigned to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Subsequently, the CBI apprehended multiple suspects, including the primary accused, Sanjay Roy, who received a conviction for the offence.
Roy was arrested on August 10, a day after the 31-year-old medic's body was found in the seminar room of the hospital. He was declared guilty of sexually assaulting the doctor and throttling her to death, and was convicted under Sections 64, 66 and 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
The Supreme Court conducted proceedings in a suo motu case regarding the assault and murder of the trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The victim's parents received legal representation from Senior Advocate Karuna Nundy.

Thane police bust 'digital arrest' fraud with overseas links; 3 held for duping woman of ₹3 cr
Thane, Police have arrested three persons, allegedly linked to an international fraud syndicate, for cheating an elderly woman in Maharashtra's Thane city of more than ₹ 3 crore after keeping her under "digital arrest", officials said on Sunday. Thane police bust 'digital arrest' fraud with overseas links; 3 held for duping woman of ₹ 3 cr The 61-year-old woman received a call on August 13, 2024 from some persons posing as a courier company personnel, claiming they had seized her parcel containing a laptop, 140 grams of MD powder, a Thai passport, three credit cards and four kg of cloth items, they said. Soon after, an individual impersonating as a "CBI officer" called the victim from a different number in a bid to verify her identity. The fraudster displayed some fabricated documents and coerced her into transferring funds after keeping her under "digital arrest", as per the police. The woman later transferred ₹ 3.04 crore into two different accounts at separate nationalised banks, the police said in a release. "The audacity of the accused is evident in how they exploited the victim's trust by masquerading as high-ranking officials," Deputy Commissioner of Police Parag Manere said. A First Information Report was registered on September 13 last year under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 318 , 316 , 336 and 340 , as well as relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act. An extensive probe by the Thane cyber police uncovered links to an international syndicate as the fraudsters managed to transfer ₹ 82.46 lakh overseas, with the funds allegedly converted into US dollars , the police said. The investigation led to the arrest of three persons on June 19. They have been identified as Kishore Bansilal Jain , chairman of the Sri Satkar Pathpedi in Mumbai, Mahesh Pawan Kothari , associated with the garment and imitation jewellery business, and Dhaval Santosh Bhalerao , involved in cosmetics business, the release said. "The accused had meticulously crafted their story to induce panic and confusion. The cross-border nature of the transaction underscores the complexity and reach of the modern financial fraud," Manere said.

Kolkata gangrape horror: Students say 'Mango' was a predator shielded by power, had disturbing history of sexual violence
Monojit Mishra, also known as Mango, the main accused in the gangrape of a 24-year-old college student in Kolkata, reportedly had a long history of disturbing behaviour, including signs of psychopathy and a tendency towards sexual violence, according to his former classmates and juniors, as reported by TOI. Students said Mishra had a pattern of making unwanted proposals to several female students, including the survivor, using the same line in Bengali: 'Tui amay biye korbi?' (Will you marry me?) A pattern of abuse ignored? Mishra had earlier been expelled from the college's Trinamool Chhatra Parishad unit in 2021. However, students claim he continued to roam freely on campus and used his influence to control WhatsApp groups and college information. 'He was a constant threat, especially to girls,' a third-year student said. 'We even gave a formal sexual harassment complaint to the teacher-in-charge, but nothing came of it.' Students allege that Mishra morphed photos of girls and shared them, recorded intimate moments with women and circulated them among friends, and often body-shamed female students. Despite several complaints of molestation, harassment, extortion, and even assault, no strict action was ever taken. Live Events Campus culture of fear A first-year student said Mishra had power because of his links with the students' union. 'Those close to the union could get away with anything. They shared obscene jokes and photos in student groups all the time. We kept quiet because we were scared,' the student said. Others recalled that Mishra had also threatened students who joined last year's 'Reclaim the Night' protest, a movement held after the RG Kar rape and murder case. Co-accused also known faces One of the co-accused, Promit Mukherjee (also known as Riju), had reportedly taken part in protests last year, ironically demanding the death penalty for the accused in the RG Kar case. Another accused, Junaid, is from Howrah. His house was found locked on Saturday. Neighbours said they were shocked. 'It's disturbing to hear Junaid's name in this case,' said local resident Abbas Sheikh. Inputs from TOI

Filmed private videos, body-shamed girls, faced molestation complaints: How 'Mango's' campus abuse was ignored for years; a toxic mix of clout, impunity
NEW DELHI: Even before the horrific 'gang-rape' allegations against Manojit Mishra stunned Kolkata, many students at the law college knew him not for his legal acumen but for the unchecked power he allegedly wielded on campus — and the fear he instilled among women. A college insider has now revealed that Manojit, also known as 'Mango', had a long history of recording private moments of women, morphing their pictures and sharing them in WhatsApp groups for amusement and ridicule. 'He filmed private moments with women and showed them to his friends. He recorded almost everything. He and his aides used to click photos of women and post them in groups, body shaming and maligning them,' she said. You Can Also Check: Kolkata AQI | Weather in Kolkata | Bank Holidays in Kolkata | Public Holidays in Kolkata Another source said that multiple complaints of molestation, harassment, assault and even extortion had been filed against him with the college authorities and police. "The party had been alerted too, but no action followed," the source said. Real influence stemmed from politics Manojit's fall from grace was neither sudden nor unpredictable. He first enrolled in 2007 and later rejoined the college in 2017, but reportedly dropped out midway during both stints. Despite being ousted from the college's Trinamool Chhatra Parishad unit in 2021 over rowdyism, he returned the following year — not as a student, but as a contractual staff member, armed with a governing body appointment letter. In 2022, he formally graduated and began practicing at Alipore court. But insiders say his real influence stemmed not from the law, but from politics. "He was the 121st candidate in a class with 120 seats. Everyone knew it. But no one questioned it, thanks to his political backing,' said a batchmate. A toxic mix of clout and impunity Even after the dissolution of the college's official Trinamool unit in 2017 — following an incident where Manojit allegedly led a group to vandalise the principal's office — his grip on campus only grew stronger. Sources say he operated without formal party designation, but acted as the de facto TMCP strongman on campus. Pramit, Manojit, Zaib He ran college WhatsApp groups where he allegedly removed students at will, used access to staff rooms, and organised events with full authority. Students claim that his leadership style was not only intimidating but deeply misogynistic. Estranged at home, feared on campus Back home in Kalighat, Manojit lived alone. His father, Robin Mishra — a local priest — had severed ties with him five years ago. The two live just four houses apart but haven't spoken in years. "Let the law take its course. If he's done it, let him be punished. The survivor is also someone's daughter," Robin said. Neighbours described Manojit as volatile and disruptive. 'There were always fights, drunken brawls, people screaming outside his house,' one said. 'One of the co-accused seen on TV was here recently after another drinking session.' His mother and sister had reportedly moved out years ago. His grandmother, who lived with him, passed away in 2023. (The victim's identity has not been revealed to protect her privacy as per Supreme court directives on cases related to sexual assault)
