Kolkata Gang Rape Case | Trinamool Disowns Student Leader Accused In Kolkata Horror

After the 'gang-rape' of a law student in Kolkata triggered a political firestorm, the Trinamool Congress has admitted that the main accused is linked to the party's student wing but insisted that this would not come in the way of him getting the strictest possible punishment. The law student was allegedly raped at the South Calcutta Law College in Kolkata's Kasba area by Manojit Mishra, a 31-year-old former student of the college, who is now a practising lawyer, and two students, identified as 19-year-old Zaib Ahmed and 20-year-old Pramit Mukhopadhyay. The crime was committed on Wednesday and all three have been arrested. Manojit Mishra is a member of the Trinamool Congress' 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, and Health Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya. #Kolkata #KolkataNews #KolkataRapeCase #RapeInKolkata #GangrapeInKolkata #KolkataGangrape
