Kolkata, July 1 (NationPress) The investigative team looking into the Kasba law student gang-rape incident has successfully gathered significant circumstantial evidence that aligns with the victim's account following the assault that occurred on the evening of June 25. This evidence supports the allegations against the three suspects currently in custody.
According to sources, the first piece of circumstantial evidence is captured in CCTV footage, which validates the victim's assertion that she was forcibly taken from the common room to the guard room where the assault transpired.
Furthermore, sources revealed that the arrangement of two benches positioned side-by-side in the guard room mimics the shape of a bed, providing additional context to the assault.
Another critical source of circumstantial evidence comes from the clothing worn by the three suspects on the night of June 25, during the assault on the victim.
This evidence complements the admissions made by two of the arrested individuals, Jaib Ahmed and Pramit Mukhopadhyay, who acknowledged their roles as facilitators in this premeditated scheme orchestrated by the third suspect, Monojit Mishra, who targeted the victim for sexual assault and recorded the incident on their mobile device to blackmail her.
Investigators are also exploring whether the video evidence of the crime has been disseminated to others. Insiders indicate that numerous explicit videos were found on the suspects' mobile devices, particularly that of Mishra, suggesting a concerning pattern of behavior.
The governing body of the Kasba law college has initiated internal disciplinary actions against the three suspects. Mishra, a former student, has been dismissed from his temporary staff role at the institution.
Simultaneously, the governing body has decided to expel Ahmed and Mukhopadhyay, both current students of the college.
Meanwhile, even four days post-arrests, there has been no statement or comment from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, and Governor C.V. Ananda Bose has remained silent on the issue.
