The latest development came as the opposition parties mounted pressure on the ruling Trinamool Congress-led West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, and demanded her resignation and security for women at educational institutions. Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Pradip Kumar Ghosal of South Suburban Division (SSD) will lead the special team.

Meanwhile, the three accused, Manojit Mishra, Zaib Ahmed, and Pramit Mukhopadhyay, whom the police have named, have been remanded to police custody till July 1.
