KOLKATA: Two students and a staffer of a government-run law college in the heart of Kolkata allegedly gang-raped a 24-year-old student and tried to hit her with a hockey stick, after the main accused pressured her for marriage, police said on Friday, as a huge political row erupted over the grim crime.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alleged that main accused in the crime—31-year-old Monojit Mishra, a former student of the college who is currently a non-teaching staffer at the institution—was a key office-bearer of the student wing of the Trinamool Congress but the state's ruling party said he never held any important position. Mishra's social media account said that he was a former chief of TMC's youth wing in the same college.
