Kolkata: A first year
polytechnic college student was gangraped in West Bengal's Burdwan
district and an accused arrested, police said Saturday.
The student of Rupnarayanpur Nazrul Centenary Polytechnic College
was sexually assaulted Tuesday in the college premises in
Rupnarayanpur, about 200 km from Kolkata.
She was found in an unconscious state and admitted to hospital for
treatment, police said.
Her father alleged that she was first drugged and then gangraped.
The accused also videographed her while she lay at the college
union room.
He named several people in the complaint, including three
students, one of whom is believed to be a leader of the Trinamool
Chhatra Parishad (TMCP) - the student wing of the ruling Trinamool
Congress in Bengal.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Asansol-Durgapur) Subrata
Gangopadhyay told IANS: "We have arrested a man following a
complaint of gangrape. The accused has been produced before a
court and we have sought his custody."
Gangopadhyay, however, refused to divulge the identity of the
accused and said police were looking for at least four more
suspects.
The father of the victim accused local Trinamool leaders of
putting pressure on him to cover up the case.
"They have asked me not to lodge an official complaint. They are
all trying to cover it up," he said.
