Prime accused in Kasba college rape a serial offender
The main suspect in the recent Kolkata law college gang rape, Monojit Mishra, has been in trouble before—multiple times.
He's faced several accusations of sexual harassment and violence, with FIRs filed at different police stations.
Yet, nothing much seemed to happen to him, reportedly because of his political connections with the Trinamool Congress Chhatra Parishad. The incident occurred on June 25, 2025.
'Many were too scared to speak up...'
Mishra's alleged behavior didn't stop at one-off incidents. He was arrested for stabbing in 2013 and linked to vandalism in 2016, but faced little fallout.
Inside the college, he was accused of harassing students and leading destructive acts; complaints were often brushed aside.
Former students say many were too scared to speak up because Mishra seemed untouchable.
Now, this case has drawn attention on campus and beyond, with discussions about the need for a real investigation into both his actions and the system that let them slide.
