⚖️ Investigative Feature: The Fall of Monojit Mishra ‘Mango’—From Power to Prison
Kolkata | June 30, 2025 – For nearly two decades, Monojit Mishra ‘Mango’ operated like an untouchable force within South Calcutta Law College—a self-styled strongman, deeply entrenched in student politics and reportedly feared by faculty, staff, and peers alike.
Today, that façade has crumbled. The 31-year-old, once revered as a TMCP icon and local youth leader, now stands accused of gang rape, with chilling details that have rocked Bengal’s political and academic institutions.
🏫 A Cult of Fear on Campus
Inside the college walls, the writing—literally—was on the wall: “Monojit dada is in our hearts (Team MM).”
Nicknamed “Mango” by students, Mishra first entered the campus in 2007. He never left. Despite officially graduating and holding no formal role, he was paid ₹500 a day as casual staff, even as he ruled the corridors through fear.
Multiple students recount a campus where Mishra harassed women with impunity—morphed photos, intimidation, and a network of enablers ensured silence. Some female students dropped out or avoided college altogether.
“He made the campus unsafe,” said one former student. “We knew complaining wouldn’t matter—he was protected.”
🚨 A Troubled Past with a Political Shield
Police records show Monojit Mishra ‘Mango’ was no stranger to criminal activity:
- 2017–2024: Assault, intimidation
- 2019 & 2022: Sexual harassment and stalking
- 2019 & 2024: Theft and vandalism
Despite multiple FIRs, Mishra remained untouched. Why? Students and faculty allege that his close ties to Trinamool Chhatra Parishad (TMCP) and ruling party leaders gave him protection.
Even his own father, a Kalighat priest, has disowned him, calling him “violent and dangerous.”
💔 June 25: A Timeline of Terror
According to the 24-year-old survivor’s FIR, the incident took place inside the college premises after hours:
- 7:00 PM – The woman is allegedly lured to the TMCP room by Mishra and two others: Pramit Mukherjee and Zaib Ahmed.
- She is told to “prove her loyalty” to the student union.
- When she tries to leave, she is forcibly dragged to another room and raped.
- A college security guard allegedly helped them.
- CCTV footage, now in police custody, reportedly shows the assault.
The accused filmed the rape, threatening to circulate the footage if she spoke out.
🧨 Political Fallout: Silence, Denial, and Outrage
As public anger grew, the Trinamool Congress quickly claimed that Monojit Mishra held “no official position.” But photos, event records, and internal testimonies tell another story—he was TMCP’s de facto power centre on campus.
The case has triggered demands for accountability—not only from the college but from West Bengal’s ruling party.
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been appointed. Police are now reopening older complaints to uncover a pattern of abuse.
⚠️ A Systemic Failure, Finally Exposed
This case isn’t just about Monojit Mishra. It’s about how predatory power survives when institutions look away.
- Students spoke.
- FIRs were filed.
- Graffiti warned of his influence.
And still, nothing changed.
Now, one woman’s courage has forced open a reckoning that cannot be buried under politics or bureaucracy any longer.
“How many more Monojit Mishra are hiding in plain sight?” asked a student protester. “We need to stop treating campuses like party offices.”
📢 Conclusion: From Fear to Justice
As Bengal watches this case unfold, one thing is clear—Monojit Mishra’s fall may be historic, but the system that enabled him must fall too.
Justice, in this case, isn’t just about punishment. It’s about reform.
And finally listening to the voices that were silenced for far too long.
