Majumdar claimed that the police did not allow her to meet the victim or the family members.

She told ANI: "Neither are they (police) letting us meet the victim, see the crime scene, nor did they let us take any photographs."

"The police do not want us to meet the victim's family. The police are saying that they don't know where the family is. The Deputy Commissioner, the nodal officer of the case, does not know where the victim is. They are not at home," she said.

Security guard arrested on Saturday

The security guard of the South Kolkata Law College was on Saturday nabbed marking the fourth arrest in connection with the alleged rape of a 24-year-old law student on the campus.

The security guard has been identified as 55-year-old Pinaki Banerjee.

Rape Horror

The law student was allegedly raped on the South Calcutta Law College campus in Kolkata's Kasba area on Wednesday between 7:30 pm and 8:50 pm by Monojit Mishra, a 31-year-old alumni and Trinamool Congress functionary, who is now a practising lawyer - and two current students.

The two other accused have been identified as 19-year-old Zaib Ahmed and 20-year-old Pramit Mukhopadhyay. All three have been arrested.

Monojit Mishra is a member of the TMC's student wing, and the BJP has shared photographs of him with senior members of the ruling party, including MP, National General Secretary, and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's nephew, Abhishek Banerjee, as well as Health Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya.

The incident came to light less than a year after a doctor was raped and murdered in Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in 2024.
