Authorities have disclosed that Mishra has faced multiple serious allegations previously, including harassment of women, physical assault, theft, and property damage.

Who is Monojit Mishra?

The main accused in the alleged gang rape of a law student from South Calcutta Law College, Monojit Mishra, is a practicing lawyer and an alumnus of the same institution. He has previously held the position of president of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) student wing, the Trinamool Chhatra Parishad, and is reportedly the organizational secretary for the South Kolkata faction of the TMC. However, the party has distanced itself from him.

Criminal Background and Previous Incidents

Mishra has a lengthy criminal record, as indicated by police documents and media reports. In 2017, he was accused of vandalizing the principal's office at South Calcutta Law College, although no police report was filed at that time.

In 2019, he faced charges for tearing a woman's clothes within the college premises, leading to a formal charge sheet against him. Additionally, on the eve of the New Year that same year, he was implicated in a theft case involving gold chains, perfumes, a music system, and glasses from a friend's house, with a charge sheet filed in January 2020.

In March 2022, Mishra allegedly harassed a woman in the Kasba area, according to sources cited by a media outlet. Furthermore, in May 2024, the law college administration lodged a formal complaint against him for assaulting a security guard and causing damage to college property.

Details of the Incident

On June 25, a 24-year-old law student reported being assaulted, beaten with a hockey stick, filmed, and blackmailed. Following her complaint, police apprehended Mishra along with two accomplices, Promit Mukherjee and Zaid Ahmed. An officer stated that the police suspect the student was gang-raped after she rejected Mishra's marriage proposal.

Formation of Special Investigation Team

In response to the alleged gang rape, the Kolkata police have established a five-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) to conduct a thorough inquiry. An officer of assistant commissioner rank will lead this team, which is set to commence its investigation immediately.

Reactions from Monojit Mishra's Father

According to reports, Monojit Mishra's father, a priest in Kalighat, expressed his embarrassment upon learning about his son's actions. He stated, 'We live in a small room. We worked hard to elevate ourselves from humble beginnings to make him a lawyer. It's hard to believe he did this. He is my son, and I worked tirelessly for his education. However, I will accept if the judiciary finds him guilty after reviewing all evidence; he should receive the maximum punishment.'
