Kolkata’s South Kolkata Calcutta Law College in Kasba has landed in hot water again. This is the same college where a student faced a horrific rape in June. Now, a probe by Calcutta University reveals that the school admitted way more first-year students than its approved vacant seats allowed.
Sources close to the investigation say early clues point straight to Monojit Mishra, the main suspect in that rape case. He seems tied to these shady admissions.
The university’s probe team has pulled together every admission record from the past 12 years. Right now, they’re digging through each one to spot the unauthorized entries—those extra spots filled without proper approval.
A university insider tells us they’ve already flagged some big problems. “Some admission forms are missing the signatures from official observers,” the insider explained. Without those, the admissions aren’t even valid on paper. Yet, these students are still listed as regular enrollees at the college.
The team has also grilled several staff members at Kasba Law College about how admissions worked over the years. During those chats, Mishra’s name kept popping up. Staff admitted that year after year, he pushed for spots for certain candidates beyond the vacant seats. Most of those people ended up getting in.
Investigators are now zeroing in on a possible money trail behind these irregular Kolkata law college admissions. Could cash have greased the wheels?
Mishra, a former student there, held so much sway that he even snagged a contractual job at the college. The management overlooked his criminal history and approved it anyway.
This unauthorized admissions scandal at Calcutta Law College is shaking things up, especially with Mishra’s links to the rape case. The full probe into these irregularities could reveal more in the coming days.
