The Kolkata High Court heard three PILs (PILS) filed for gang rape at Law College. The High Court has ordered the closure of student union offices in all colleges and universities in Bengal. The court has also sought a report from the state government.
The bench of Justice Saumen Sen and Justice Smita Das Dey said that these rooms will remain closed till the students are held. The court said that such rooms cannot be used for any work. If needed, the university registrar will have to apply with valid reasons.
At the same time, the West Bengal Bar Council on Wednesday canceled the membership of the main accused, Manjn Mishra and removed his name from the list of lawyers. Bar Council Chairman Ashok Deb said that the accused has been removed from the list of Bar Council due to allegations of serious and inhuman offense.
Claims in PIL of Advocate Sion Banerjee…
Monojo Mishra, the main accused in the case, has been conducting activities in the name of the Students Union of South Calcutta Law College.
No student union elections were held in West Bengal since 2017, yet alumni and non-elected persons are running the union office illegally.
All the student union offices continue their operations without any approval or provision of law.
It is a matter of concern that students, officials, class representatives, who were elected in the last election, are still coming to the campus on the basis of the previous post in the student union.
Police said- all three accused are misleading
Police said that the three accused are making separate statements so that the investigation can be wandered. An official said that all three are law students, they get some legal moves. At the same time, the police are trying to find out who, Jab Ahmed and Pramit Mukherjee, who met or who were in contact with whom, a few hours before their arrest.

The police have also questioned the college’s Vice-Principal Dr. Nayana Chatterjee twice. Manoja Mishra spoke to him on the phone on the morning of 26 June. On Wednesday, the police also questioned 16 people who were present in the college campus at the time of the incident.
