The gang-rape of a 24-year-old law student in Kolkata was a pre-planned act, police revealed, with the prime accused, Monojit Mishra, allegedly targeting the victim from her first day in college. Along with two others, Mishra had a history of sexually harassing female students and recording the acts to blackmail them. The assault took place inside the college premises on June 25 and was reportedly triggered after the victim rejected Mishra's proposal.
