Protests erupt over South Calcutta Law College gang rape
A gang rape case at South Calcutta Law College has triggered strong protests from students and lawyers, all demanding justice and safer campuses.
Responding quickly, the college expelled two accused students and let go of a staff member to show they're taking safety seriously.
TL;DR
One accused had criminal record
About 100 lawyers gathered to call for strict punishment for those involved, pointing out how the incident hurts the state's image.
There's also concern over how one main accused, Monojit Mishra, became a lawyer despite a criminal record.
Right now, Mishra and others are in police custody as calls grow louder for stronger campus security.
