Woman gang raped 'for rejecting' marriage proposal from prime accused: Police
Kolkata (PTI): The police suspect that the law college student in Kolkata was gang raped since she turned down the marriage proposal of the main accused making him angry, an officer said on Saturday.
Police were also trying to find out whether the entire crime was pre-planned or not, he said.
"Going by the sequence of events, it appears that the victim had to face torture because of vengeance of the prime accused after she rejected his marriage proposal. This has been corroborated by the circumstantial evidence," the officer said.
"But whether it was a pre-planned crime or it happened suddenly needs to be proved," the officer told PTI.
The woman told the three accused that she had a boyfriend and was "happy with him" and would not "cheat him".
The trio then threatened to kill her boyfriend and lodge false cases against her parents if she continued to resist the prime accused, she has alleged.
"Every aspect is being probed. We are also going through call details of the three accused and that of the victim," he said.
The medical examination corroborated the law college student's allegation that she was gang raped.
The first-year student of South Calcutta Law College complained to the police that she was gang raped inside the institution by an alumnus and two senior students of the institution on the evening of June 25.
All three accused were arrested on Thursday. The medical examination of the woman was also conducted on the same day.
There are external injuries near her private parts and inner thighs, besides marks of assaults on and around her neck.

'The Ba**ds of Bollywood’ mirrors my life, damages my reputation: Sameer Wankhede tells Delhi HC
New Delhi: IRS officer Sameer Wankhede has submitted his reply to the Delhi High Court in the defamation case he filed against Red Chillies Entertainment, the production company owned by actor Shah Rukh Khan. The case pertains to the recently released series The Ba**ds of Bollywood*, which Wankhede claims has defamed him.
In his statement to the court, Wankhede asserted that the show’s portrayal of a police officer is clearly based on him and has caused serious harm to his public image. He cited four key reasons supporting his claim.
First, he said the character in question bears physical similarities to him, including facial and body features. Second, he noted that the character’s working style and mannerisms closely resemble his own.
Third, Wankhede highlighted that the officer in the show is depicted making a high-profile arrest involving a major film personality, which he said directly mirrors his own involvement in the Aryan Khan drug case.
Fourth, he pointed out that the character frequently uses the phrase “Satyameva Jayate,” a motto he himself had used during media interactions in the course of that investigation. He argued that using the national motto in such a context cannot be dismissed as creative expression or humour.
Wankhede also referred to an interview in which Aryan Khan allegedly admitted that the show was “inspired by some real events.” This, he said, contradicts Red Chillies Entertainment’s claim that The Ba**ds of Bollywood* is purely fictional.
He further alleged that the tone and intent of the series indicate personal and institutional vendetta, aimed at discrediting and defaming him rather than engaging in artistic storytelling.
Wankhede informed the court that the fallout from the show has affected his family, with his wife and sister receiving abusive and vulgar messages online.
Rejecting Red Chillies’ argument that he is a “thin-skinned” officer, Wankhede said that a public servant cannot be expected to tolerate false and damaging portrayals simply because of his position. He emphasized that his legal action seeks to protect the constitutional rights and dignity of both himself and his family.
