Kolkata/IBNS: The security guard of the South Kolkata Law College was on Saturday nabbed marking the fourth arrest in connection with the alleged rape of a 24-year-old law student on the campus, media reports said.

The security guard has been identified as 55-year-old Pinaki Banerjee.

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.

BJP leader Amit Malviya wrote on X: "The main accused? Manojit — a former student and TMCP member — along with two others.

"Another shameful chapter has been added to Bengal’s collapsing law and order under TMC rule."

'She went to fill out form, Trinamool functionary raped her in union room'

In chilling details from the FIR accessed by various media, the survivor said one of the three accused asked her to stay a little longer at around 6:10 pm when others were preparing to leave.

"He called me outside the room (Union room) and told me that from the very first day he likes me. After his girlfriend he is in love with someone and that is me and he gave a proposal for marriage," the victim claimed as quoted by Hindustan Times.

As per the FIR, she had packed her bag and was getting ready to leave when Monojit instructed others to leave the room and lock the door.

"It was within fraction of second…He took me near the washroom and tried to force me with the intention of rousing sex," the FIR said.

The victim claimed she had pleaded to the main accused to leave her but he didn't let her go.

"I touched his feet but he did not let me go, but he did not listen," the FIR quoted the victim as reported by the daily.

"He asked the other two to take me inside the guard’s room and make the guard sit outside. They did so," he added.

The victim claimed in the FIR that the two other men stood by and watched.

Monojit allegedly threatened to kill her boyfriend and arrest her parents.

The survivor further said she was shown two videos of her being naked from the time when he raped her and theatened to show it to everyone upon non-cooperation.

She alleged the prime accused tried to hit her with a hockey stick but left her like a dead body after the forceful penetration in the guard room.

According to the FIR report going viral, during her ordeal she had a panic attack and begged her tormentors to take her to hospital or get her an inhaler. They got her an inhaler from a nearby medical store, the shocking details revealed.

The alleged incident occurred between 7:30 pm and 10:50 pm.
