According to the medical report’s findings, there was an abrasion mark around the woman’s neck, and a few marks on her chest. The report added that there were no lacerations (cuts) on her body.
A day after the gang-rape case of a Kolkata law student came to light, her medical report has been accessed, revealing signs of brutality and forcible sexual intercourse. The medical examination of the woman was conducted on Friday.
According to the findings of the medical examination, there was an abrasion mark around the woman’s neck, and a few marks on her breasts. The report further added that there were no lacerations (cuts) on her body.
It also said that, given the nature of the injury marks found on her body, the possibility of a sexual assault cannot be ruled out either.
This came a day after the matter was reported by a 24-year-old South Calcutta Law College student, alleging that she was gang-raped.
Earlier, a medical examination confirmed the survivor’s allegations and there was evidence of forceful penetration, bite marks and nail scratches on her body, according to a senior Kolkata Police official.
Three men were arrested in connection with the case that invited angry reactions from all corners. The case was reported more than 10 months after a similar crime at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata led to city and nationwide protests.
The student alleged that she was gang-raped on June 25 after she rejected a marriage proposal from the main accused, 31-year-old Monojit Mishra, who is a former student and current general secretary of the Trinamool Congress Chhatra Parishad (TMCP). Two others — also students at the college — stood by and watched the crime unfold.
The fourth person, a college security guard, was also arrested in connection with the case for allegedly turning a blind eye to the assault and deliberately not alerting the authorities or the police.
The incident has become a major political flashpoint between the ruling Trinamool Congress and the opposition BJP in Bengal, owing to the alleged involvement of a cadre from Mamata Banerjee’s party.
While Trinamool assured of justice in a long statement on X, in which the ruling party condemned the incident, the BJP clapped back by sharing a series of pictures of Mishra with multiple Trinamool leaders, including Abhishek Banerjee, who is an MP and the nephew of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
