**South Calcutta Law College Takes Swift Action After Alleged Gang Rape**

**Kolkata, July 1, 2025** – South Calcutta Law College has terminated the services of a staff member and expelled two students in connection with the alleged gang rape of a 24-year-old student on campus. The incident, which reportedly occurred on June 25th after class hours, has sparked outrage and calls for improved campus security.

The prime accused, Monojit Mishra, a casual employee who was a practicing criminal lawyer, had his appointment cancelled following his arrest. Zaib Ahmed and Pramit Mukherjee, both students at the college, were also expelled. A security guard has also been arrested in connection to the crime.

The college’s governing body, chaired by Trinamool Congress MLA Ashok Kumar Deb, met Tuesday to address the crisis. “It has been decided to terminate the services of Mishra, while the two other students will be expelled with immediate effect. The college will maintain no connection with the accused,” Deb stated.

The governing body is also demanding the cancellation of Mishra’s bar council membership. The college plans to enhance security measures, including increased CCTV coverage, hiring a new security agency, and deploying female security guards. A show cause notice will also be issued to the current security agency.

The college will remain temporarily closed, but exams will proceed as scheduled. Administrative offices will be open for students to complete exam forms. The governing body has also offered financial assistance to the victim for medical expenses.

Further investigation revealed that Mishra, a former student himself, was rusticated from the college in 2013 for a stabbing incident. He was re-admitted in 2017 and passed out in 2022. He has also been previously accused of vandalism and has several sexual assault cases pending against him.
“We have not only expelled the accused, but want the highest punishment for the perpetrators,” said Vice-Principal Nayna Chatterji.
The Hindu has obtained copies of at least seven formal complaints and FIRs, besides the latest one on the gang rape, against Mishra.
The incident has prompted widespread condemnation and renewed scrutiny of safety protocols at educational institutions.
