Legal Drama Unfolds as Kolkata Gang Rape Case Hits Courts

A Kolkata court has extended judicial custody for three men accused in the gang rape of a law college student until July 22. The accused include Monojit Mishra, a former college staffer, and current students Zaib Ahmed and Pramit Mukherjee.

The case involves a first-year student who alleges she was raped on campus on June 25. Prosecutors have indicated that electronic evidence has been gathered, but they are waiting for a final forensic report.

While investigators prepare to potentially request further custody, legal representatives for the accused have raised concerns over interrogation practices and denied any wrongdoing by their clients.
