Kolkata: Four persons have been held in connection with Friday’s alleged gangrape of an MBBS student of a private medical college at Durgapur in West Bengal’s West Burdwan district.
Police said three of the suspects were identified as Apu Bauri, Sheikh Firdous and Sheikh Riyazuddin. A local court remanded them in police custody. The male classmate with whom the survivor had left campus to have food was still under detention for questioning. Later in the day, Asansol-Durgapur Police Commissionerate’s deputy commissioner (east) Abhishek Gupta told HT that a fourth suspect was nabbed on Sunday and he would be produced in court on Monday.
“We are investigating all angles. The survivor’s friend is being questioned. Security camera footage is being examined,” the DCP told reporters.
A forensic team has scanned the jungle, located 500 metres away from the campus, where the crime was committed.
A state health department official said the government has sought a report on the incident from IQ City Medical College and Hospital, where the survivor studied.
