Kolkata Rape Case: The 24-year-old student at South Calcutta Law College has mentioned in her complaint that she suffered a panic attack before she was allegedly gang-raped on June 25. The prime accused in the case, Manojit Mishra, asked a co-accused to arrange an inhaler for her. The survivor was allowed to take a puff following which she was dragged to another room where Manojit raped her while co-accused Zaib Ahmed and Pramit Mukhopadhyay captured the incident.
Earlier, the nine-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the incident also found that the three accused - Manojit, Pratim and Zaid had a history of sexually harassing students of the college. The fourth accused is the college's security guard.
The survivor narrated the entire incident in her complaint and said that she was on campus along with others for a political meeting on June 25. Manojit asked her to stay back when she was leaving the campus and later tried to force her into having sex. "I denied and fought back by not letting him do anything and pushing him back. I continuously cried and asked him to let me go," she said in her complaint.
"But he did not agree. He went on forcing me. And after that for all these, I had a panic attack and (started) having shortness of breath...I asked them to take me to Ruby General Hospital. Then I told them at least to bring an inhaler for me. 'M' (Zaib) bought that," she has said. "I took it and felt better and I packed my things and went outside to escape and saw that they have locked the main gate and guard was helpless and did not help," she wrote, as per an NDTV report.
"When I fought back, he blackmailed me, threatened me which he was doing from before. He threatens me that he will kill my boyfriend and he will arrest my parents (sic)," the survivor stated in the complaint.
"I still fought back and then he shown me two videos of mine being naked when he raped me. He threatened me to show everyone this videos if I don't cooperate and if I don't come whenever he calls me (sic)," the survivor further mentions, as per the report.
