Kolkata: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the gang rape questioned the vice-principal of the college after the call record details of prime accused Monojit Mishra revealed a call went to her a day after the crime.
"However, the content of that conversation remains unclear to us. Whether Mishra confessed to the crime is something we want to know from her. We also want to know if he wanted to know about the survivor's movements or her exact address," said a police source. When contacted, TOI did not get any response from the vice-principal.
The SIT is also gearing up to question the general secretary of the college, a second-year student. According to the FIR, on the day of the rape, when the complainant was preparing to go home, the GS was with her. They both walked together to the college gate to go home. However, one of Mishra's associates, Zaib Ahmed, told them: "Brother is calling, there's something to discuss about the (TMCP) unit.
"
After that, the survivor was with the GS from 4 pm to 7:30 pm. Around 7:30 pm, the GS told her: "I am stepping out for a bit. I will return shortly.
" However, the complainant did not see her return till late into the night. "I will speak where it is appropriate," was the short answer from the GS when questioned by the media.
"We are seeking five answers from her. One, where was she headed to. Two, why did she promise to return? Three, if so, why she failed to return. Four, Pramit Mukhopadhyay is extremely close to her. Hence, we want to know if she acted on instructions from either Mukhopadhyay or Mishra. Finally, we want to ascertain if she called up the survivor to know if she reached home safely," said an officer.
Ahmed and Mukhopadhyay reportedly told cops that Mishra targeted the girl from the day she enrolled in her first year. He frequently talked about her. However, after various attempts failed to elicit a response, Mishra planned the assault. The other two students joined him in this scheme.
