A student of the Indian Institute of Management-Calcutta (IIM-C) has been arrested after a woman alleged that she was raped inside a hostel on the institute’s campus. The accused was produced before the Alipore Court on Saturday and has been remanded to police custody until July 19.
The complaint was filed late on Friday evening at Haridevpur Police Station. According to police, the woman, a clinical psychologist, stated that she had been invited to the hostel by the student for a counselling session. Upon reaching there, she was offered a drink that allegedly left her unconscious.
After the woman regained consciousness, she realised she had been assaulted. The woman also alleged that the accused threatened her with dire consequences if she spoke about the incident.
