The accused in the alleged rape incident on the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIM-C) campus in Joka has been granted bail on a bail bond of Rs 50,000 on Saturday.
Complainant Incommunicado, Skipped Court Dates
The complainant, a psychological councillor, who accused the student of sexual harassment in the hostel of the institute, is “incommunicado” and skipped two appearances before the magistrate to record her statement.
Police have been trying to contact her since then for investigation purposes, however, they have been unable to reach her, as her phone has been switched off.
Meanwhile, the police on Tuesday sought the CCTV footage of July 11 of the entire campus of the IIM-C. The alleged rape incident took place on the campus of the IIM-C on July 11.
What’s The Case?
The woman, a psychological councillor, claimed that she was called to the hostel for a counselling session.
When the woman went to the hostel, she reportedly consumed a drink laced with drugs, after which she fell unconscious. After she gained consciousness, she realised that she was raped.
As per the complainant, the two had become acquainted through social media.
The accused student was arrested the next day based on an FIR lodged with the Haridevpur Police Station by the survivor.
The case comes less than a month after another female student was gang-raped on June 25 inside the security guard room of the South Calcutta Law College. So far, the Kolkata Police have arrested four individuals: Manojit Mishra, Promit Mukherjee, Zaid Ahmed, and the college’s security guard.
