Prime accused was appointed as temporary staff of law college with Trinamool MLA's nod
THE alleged gang rape of a student at a law college in south Kolkata has sparked outrage, with the Opposition BJP pointing out main accused Manojit Mishra's links with the Trinamool Congress, though the West Bengal ruling party has denied it calling for tough action against the culprits.
On his Facebook profile, Mishra, a former student of the law college and a practicing lawyer in Alipore court, has claimed he is the south Kolkata organisational secretary of Trinamool Congress Chhatra Parishad (TMCP), the students' wing of the TMC. His social media profile has pictures of him in programmes of the TMC. There are also his pictures with the leaders of the ruling party.
