The Kolkata Police, investigating the rape of a law student in Kasba's South Calcutta Law College, has added five new sections - including those related to kidnapping and wrongful confinement - against Monojit Mishra and the two students who are among the accused in the case.
The police have also told the court that Mishra is very influential and, if he is let out, could hamper the investigation by terrorising the survivor and witnesses.
In its four-page petition before the court of the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate in Kolkata, accessed by NDTV, in which it sought the extension of police custody of Mishra and the two students - identified as 19-year-old Zaib Ahmed and 20-year-old Pramit Mukhopadhyay - the Kolkata Police said all three attempted to mislead investigators.
