A security guard at a Kolkata law college has been arrested following allegations of a gang rape involving a first-year student in his room. The incident has sparked widespread protests and criticism against the state government over inadequate campus safety measures.

The Kolkata Police have constituted a five-member special investigation team (SIT) to delve into the case. So far, four arrests have been made in connection with the crime, which involved two senior students, an alumnus, and the security guard himself.
