Kolkata Law Student Rape Case: Months after Kolkata RG Kar doctor's rape and murder case, the city, which is known as the cultural capital of India, is once again on the boil over a rape incident in which a 24-year-old law student was raped on premises of the college. The main accused 'Manojit Mishra' is no less than a 'Bollywood villain'. He holds all the features of a filmy 'goon', despite being highly educated. He was a lawyer but had no respect for the law due to his political connection.
