Bengal Police reconstruct Kolkata gangrape crime scene, bring in arrested accused

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], July 4 (ANI): West Bengal Police on Friday brought the arrested accused in the Kolkata gangrape case to South Calcutta Law College for the reconstruction of the crime scene. Earlier, the Kolkata High Court sought a response from the West Bengal Government on three Public Interest Litigations (PILs) regarding the alleged gangrape at the South Calcutta Law College in the Kasba area. The Court also questioned why the governing body of the college was not included in the case. On July 2, Kolkata Police stated that the Detective Department of the police force would take over the investigation in the alleged gang rape case. This comes after a student was allegedly gangraped inside the South Calcutta Law College in Kasba area in the capital city of West Bengal on June 25. Five days later, on June 30, Kolkata Police said that the three main accused in the case were arrested in less than 12 hours. Earlier, BJP's fact-finding committee member Manan Kumar Mishra stated alleged that the police were 'hiding' the family of the rape survivor and not allowing anyone to meet the security guard, who is the fourth accused in the incident. He further alleged that there was an attempt to 'tamper' with the First Information Report (FIR) to change the name of the accused. Mishra told ANI, 'We visited everyone there and met other college staff also. When we saw some documents, it showed that some tampering had been done with the FIR. By looking at the document, it looks like someone attempted to change the name of the accused. We tried to talk to the victim, but it looks like the police are hiding the family of the victim. The guard is the best witness in this case, but they have also arrested him and are not letting him meet anyone.' 'We will submit our report; however, that is a different thing, how the government of Mamata Banerjee will work on this,' he said. The Alipore court had on Tuesday sent the three main accused to police custody till July 8. The Court also sent the security guard, the fourth accused, to custody till July 4. The accused, Monojit, Pramit, and Zaib, will remain in police custody until July 8. The security guard, Pinaki, will be in custody until July 4. (ANI)

BCI chairman demands Sharmishta Panoli's release; condemns West Bengal govt

CHENNAI: The Bar Council of India (BCI) chairman and Rajya Sabha member, Manan Kumar Mishra, has condemned the arrest of law student Sharmishta Panoli by the West Bengal police for a now-deleted social media video, despite her immediate apology. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'I demand Sharmistha's immediate release, a fair trial, and an end to the double standards that have long plagued the state's administration of justice,' he said. 'It represents an absolute failure of justice and a blatant assault on freedom of expression. The Bengal govt and Kolkata police have once again proved their pattern of excessive, selective, and politically motivated action, targeting individuals from particular communities while ignoring or even shielding far more egregious acts by others,' Mishra said on Sunday. It is deeply troubling that the same govt that opposed Operation Sindoor - a decisive counter-terror operation meant to avenge the brutal killing of innocents -- now seeks to silence a young law student for questioning such similar double standards, he said in a statement. 'It is unconscionable that a young law student is made a scapegoat and subjected to harsh legal action, while past atrocities on particular communities by govt-sponsored persons and entities remain unaddressed. True democracy demands impartiality, restraint, and the equal protection of rights, not selective outrage and vendetta,' Mishra said. He also called upon the Bengal govt and its police to 'abandon this dangerous path of targeting select voices and to uphold the rule of law for all.'
