Alumnus Manojit Mishra (31) is allegedly a local leader of the students' union of the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC). The other two are third-semester law students of the college and are allegedly associated with the TMCP.
According to the survivor's complaint, the incident took place between 7:30 pm and 10:50 pm on Wednesday at the South Calcutta Law College.
On his Facebook profile, Mishra claimed he was the organisational secretary of TMCP's South Kolkata district. He is also a practicing lawyer in Alipore court.
The other two accused were identified as Zaib Ahmed (19) and Pramit Mukhopadhyay (20). All three accused were produced before the Alipore court and remanded in police custody till July 1.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee cut short her stay at Digha and returned to Kolkata after participating in the Rath Yatra there. She was originally scheduled to come back on Saturday.
