On the evening of June 25, 2025, a 24-year-old female law student at South Kolkata Law College in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, was allegedly trapped, physically assaulted, and sexually assaulted by 31-year-old ex-student Manojit Mishra, assisted by two current students, Zabe Ahmed (19) and Parmit Mukhopadhyay (20). When the victim rejected Mishra's demand for marriage, stating she had a boyfriend, Mishra forcibly dragged her into a washroom and assaulted her. When she experienced severe respiratory distress, Ahmed and Mukhopadhyay fetched her inhaler but refused to take her to a hospital, and instead dragged her to the college guard room on Mishra's command. The guard vacated the room upon Mishra's order, where Mishra allegedly assaulted her again, recorded a video, and threatened to murder her boyfriend and ruin her family if she reported the incident. The victim subsequently received medical treatment, underwent forensic examinations, and gave a statement to police. On June 26, 2025, Kolkata Police arrested Mishra, Ahmed, and Mukhopadhyay and sealed the campus area.

Obsessive Stalking
The incident demonstrates severe obsessive entitlement and retaliation triggered by unrequited romantic interest. When the victim rejected the primary suspect's marriage demand due to her existing relationship, the suspect utilized personal influence, institutional access, and co-offender intimidation to exert absolute coercive control and violent retribution.
Kolkata Police arrested all three accused individuals on June 26, 2025—Manojit Mishra and an associate from a local park, and a third suspect from his home. Charges are framed under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) provisions covering illegal confinement (Section 127(2)), gang rape aiding/accomplice liability (Section 70(1)), and common intention (Section 3(5)). Investigators sealed the college crime scenes, gathered medical and forensic physical evidence, and recorded the victim's official statement.
Initial confusion centered on the exact identity and criminal exposure of the co-accused students who brought an inhaler to the victim but subsequently facilitated her confinement and recorded the assault. Legal analysis clarified that non-intervention and facilitation establish legal complicity under gang rape provisions.
The case understanding was established through the victim's detailed police statement, medical evaluation reports, and site inspection. Timeline reconstruction verified that Mishra ambushed the victim as she tried to exit around 7:00 PM, forced her into the washroom, and later had co-accused students drag her to the guard room where the guard was ordered away.
The perpetrator demonstrated extreme danger through reckless intimidation within an active educational institute, leveraging power dynamics, accomplice support, and severe bodily and psychological violence. His explicit threats against the victim's family and partner underscore a persistent pattern of coercive domination.
Unchecked dominance by former students in educational institutions creates dangerous security blind spots. The reliance on coercive authority over campus staff highlights structural failures in institutional safety and security oversight.
The primary suspect's persistent bullying, aggressive posturing on campus despite graduating in 2022, and coercive demands for a relationship served as clear warning signs prior to the violent outburst.
The victim's dropped inhaler, gated hall locks, eyewitness statements, and phone video recordings created a direct evidentiary path connecting all three perpetrators to the incident.
Strong evidence includes forensic sample collections, medical examination records confirming bodily trauma and respiratory distress, the victim's official statement, and electronic recording devices.
The victim reported begging the co-accused students to save her and call an ambulance, but they refused medical assistance and complied with the primary suspect's orders to transfer her to the guard room.
Follow-up investigative reports confirmed the arrest of all three suspects within 24 hours and clarified the legal rationale for filing gang rape charges against the facilitators under BNS sections.
The full extent of administrative negligence by college officials and the security guard's complete failure to intervene remain under police review.
