Asansol, October 12: A first year polytechnic college student at Chittaranjan in Bardhaman was allegedly ragged, drugged and gang-raped within the college compound by students union member.

According to the police complaint filed by her father, the accused captured an MMS of the victim while she lay at the college union room. The victim has been admitted to Chittaranjan hospital.

The victim's father, has named three students including a third year student who happens to be a Trinamool Chhatra Parishad (TMCP) leader Samyo Mandal, set to become general secretary of the college student's union. TMCP is the student wing of the Trinamool Congress.

The act has shocked the state capital and caused anxiety and insecurity among the residents of Railway Colony, in Chittaranjan. The victim's father filed the complaint only a day after the father of Siddhant Mundra, a first year mechanical engineering student of Jadavpur University lodged a police complaint against hostel inmates on Thursday.

The Chittaranjan girl was gang-raped three days ago on Tuesday. In his complaint filed on Friday morning, the victim's father complains that her daughter was given drugs mixed with soft drinks at the college union room. When she lost control of her senses, the four youth including the TMCP leader overpowered her. They subjected her to ragging. Later, they gang-raped the first year student.

"They didn't spare my daughter even after the gang-rape. They took pictures of her with their cell phones," the father said. When asked about the delay in his complaint, he said that his daughter was not in her senses for the first 24 hours. "She couldn't even talk. I got to know about the incident when she regained her consciousness," he said.

Kazi Nazrul Centenary Polytechnic College principal Rituparna Bose said that a four-member enquiry committee has been set up to probe the complaint. Bose initially denied the ragging complaint but conceded that he had no knowledge of the presence of an outsider in the college union room where a section of students drink alcohol on a regular basis.

The college principal has ordered to lock the student's union room and canteen on Friday and promised to offer all help to the police.

Sources said that the girl was invited to a birthday party by her three seniors and offered soft drinks mixed with drugs. She managed to return home after gaining consciousness.

While college TMCP leader Samyo Mondal is the main accused, the two others are Avik Ghosh and Bijoy Singh alias Bholu. However, the outsider Mithilesh Ojha from Jharkhand is absconding.

Ashok Rudra, TMCP leader of Asansol condemned the incident and claimed that the main accused Samyo Mondal is not at present a TMCP member. "I have requested the police to arrest all the culprits,"he said.

Ajay Kumar Nand, commissioner of Asansol Durgapur Police commissionerate said that the victim's father has submitted a written complaint and also later lodged FIR at Rupnarayanpur police outpost. On the basis of the complaint police have started a case. The victim has also recorded her statement before the judge at Asansol court on Friday.

New Delhi, Jan 6: A blind student who is pursuing research in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) was also attacked by the mob that perpetrated violence in the University yesterday.

"I thought that the mob which came yesterday would disperse after raising a few slogans but they indulged in violence. They were targeting ABVP students. They beat me with sticks and rods. When I went to the AIIMS Trauma Centre, I came to know that there are many other injured students there," Surya Prakash, the blind student pursuing research in the University told ANI.

"I talked to my family members. They are really worried about the situation here. I qualified in the National Eligibility Test (NET) last year but I want to study and hence I am continuing research in JNU. How can we do anything in this atmosphere of fear? I am receiving calls from anonymous numbers threatening me not to come in front of the media. They are saying that as I am blind, I would become the face of this case," he added.

Another PhD student, Santosh Bhagat recounted his experience.

"In the evening at around 7 pm, many masked men entered the hostel. They had rods and sticks in their hands. We tried to go out but the attackers had entered the premises by then. I locked my room from inside but the attackers broke the door and entered my room and attacked me. They pushed me from the first floor and I fell down and sustained an injury. Later, I took shelter at one of the Professor's flat. Later, I was taken to the AIIMS Trauma Cantre," Bhagat said.

On Sunday evening, more than 30 students of the university, including JNUSU President Aishe Ghosh, were injured and were taken to the AIIMS Trauma Centre after a masked mob entered the JNU and attacked them and professors with sticks and rods.

The JNU administration and political leaders, cutting across political lines, condemned the attack on students and urged the police to take action against the perpetrators.

Meanwhile, the situation remained tense but peaceful outside JNU on Monday morning as the university guards maintained a strict vigil at the gate, checking I-cards of all those entering the university.
