In a disturbing case that has sent shockwaves through Kolkata, police have arrested Manujit Mishra, a former leader of the Trinamool Congress Chhatra Parishad, on charges of rape and criminal intimidation. The incident reportedly took place within the premises of a local college, where Mishra, who also served as a temporary staff member and lawyer, allegedly assaulted a law student. The victim has accused Mishra of not only committing the heinous act but also recording the assault on video.

The arrest followed an initial investigation by the Kolkata Police, which revealed enough evidence to detain Mishra. This case highlights significant concerns about safety and security within educational institutions, raising questions about the measures in place to protect students from such violations.

The legal community and student bodies have expressed outrage over the incident, demanding swift justice and stringent actions against those found guilty. This case underscores the urgent need for educational institutions to implement robust mechanisms to prevent such incidents and ensure a safe environment for all students.
