Kolkata gangrape case: Accused's hypocritical demand for justice

India

A surprising video has surfaced showing Monojit Mishra—now accused in the Kolkata gangrape—demanding harsh punishment for rapists in a different case just last year.
The irony hasn't gone unnoticed, as the video features Mishra urging capital punishment for those behind the RG Kar rape-murder case.

Accused has criminal history, including assault and robbery

Mishra, a former student leader with the Trinamool Congress (TMC), is now under fire as his party quickly distanced itself after his arrest.
He and two others are in police custody and have been expelled from the college.
Mishra's past also includes charges like assault and robbery.
The incident has sparked political debate about law enforcement and raised fresh demands for faster justice in crimes against women.
