Kolkata Law College Gangrape: June 30, 2025 – A Brutal Crime That Challenges Bengal’s Legacy of Progress & Education
🛑 Overview – Kolkata Law College Gangrape:
The Kolkata Law College gangrape case has shaken the conscience of West Bengal. A state once known for its intellectual renaissance and progressive activism is now in the spotlight for a crime that has exposed deep-rooted systemic issues in campus safety, political interference, and law enforcement.
On June 25, 2025, a female law student was allegedly gangraped by three individuals—Monojit Mishra, Zaib Ahmed, and Pramit Mukherjee—inside the South Calcutta Law College premises. Public outrage erupted after the incident came to light on June 26, leading to widespread protests, political blame games, and three PILs being filed in the Calcutta High Court demanding an independent probe.
The crime, described by police as “planned” with prior history of harassment by the accused, marks a tragic turning point in the state’s academic and political culture.
⚖️ Legal & Political Fallout – Kolkata Law College Gangrape:
SIT Formed, PILs Filed, and Political Heat Intensifies:
A special investigation team (SIT) is now overseeing the probe, under direct supervision of senior Kolkata Police officials. The victim’s medico-legal and forensic examinations have been completed. Yet, what’s fueling public distrust is the political association of the accused—Monojit Mishra, once linked with Trinamool Congress Chattra Parishad and later appointed as a contractual staff at the same institution.
The BJP’s fact-finding delegation—including Satpal Singh, Meenakshi Lekhi, and Biplab Kumar Deb—visited the crime scene on June 30, meeting the Police Commissioner and demanding answers from the ruling TMC leadership.
While the Calcutta High Court has admitted PILs seeking an independent investigation, the college campus remains sealed, its gates now symbolic of a broken system that failed to protect its students.
Public Outrage & Cultural Contradictions – Kolkata Law College Gangrape:
From Renaissance to Resistance: Bengal’s Students Rise Again:
What sets West Bengal apart historically is its legacy of student movements, social justice, and intellectual discourse. From the freedom struggle to Naxalbari, Bengal’s youth once defined revolution and reform. That same spirit returned this week—not in lecture halls but outside campus gates, where hundreds of students gathered in protest.
Student groups, including those from other law colleges, expressed solidarity with the survivor. Violent scuffles broke out when BJP workers clashed with student activists, leaving several injured. The visuals of young protesters holding placards and chanting for justice eerily contrasted with West Bengal’s past image as a hub of enlightened thought and progressivism.
How did a place of law become a site of lawlessness?
🚨 Institutional Responsibility & Rising Questions:
Why Was a Repeat Offender Employed at the College?
What makes the Kolkata Law College gangrape particularly disturbing is that Monojit Mishra—one of the prime accused—was allegedly previously reported for vandalism and sexual misconduct. Despite this, he was appointed as a contractual staff member under the governing body presided over by TMC MLA Ashok Deb.
Photographs of Mishra with senior party leaders have surfaced, adding fuel to the already politicized narrative. Critics question whether nepotism and party loyalty overshadowed student safety.
Following public pressure, the West Bengal Education Department has ordered the removal of Mishra, and rustication of the two other accused students. But many argue this action came too late—after irreversible trauma was inflicted.
🗣 Voices from the Ground – Kolkata Law College Gangrape:
Students, Activists & Women’s Rights Groups Speak Out:
Demonstrators across Kolkata demanded justice and questioned the silence of several Trinamool Congress leaders. The National Commission for Women (NCW) sent Archana Majumdar to the crime scene, highlighting the national gravity of the case.
Activist voices compared the case to previous assaults in West Bengal, asking whether this signals a pattern of increasing impunity for politically connected criminals.
📢 Final Thoughts – Kolkata Law College Gangrape:
The Kolkata Law College gangrape case is not just a brutal crime—it is a mirror to Bengal’s fractured soul, where intellectual pride now competes with political rot and crumbling campus safety.
What was once the cradle of Indian political thought and cultural innovation is now confronting the dark consequence of unchecked power and negligence.
Justice for the survivor is not only about punishing the guilty—it’s about restoring the spirit of Bengal.
