Kolkata Rape Horror
Law college rape accused Monojit Mishra shared online post demanding justice for RG Kar victim last year
Monojit Mishra, a key accused in the gangrape of a law student in a Kolkata college, last year shared a video on his facebook page demanding justice for the lady doctor who was raped and murdered in RG Kar Medical College Hospital.
On August 16, Mishra has uploaded a video of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee leading a protest march in Kolkata and wrote on Facebook: "I want the rapist to be hanged. I want justice, not drama. I want justice immediately. I want the culprits to be hanged."
Netizens slammed Mishra, currently arrested in connection with the case, for sharing the video, demanding justice for the doctor.
Law college rape horror
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.
