Kolkata| A second-year student from a private engineering college in Kolkata has been arrested for allegedly raping his classmate after spiking her drink with drugs, according to police officials.
The incident came to light after the victim, who had moved to West Bengal to pursue her studies, filed a formal complaint at the Anandapur Police Station. In her statement, she alleged that the accused visited her rented apartment in Anandapur, mixed drugs into her drink, and assaulted her after she lost consciousness.
Police sources stated that the accused went into hiding following the incident but was tracked down and arrested upon returning to his residence in the Anandapur area.
“The student claimed that her classmate came to her flat and offered her a drink laced with drugs. After consuming it, she fainted and was subsequently raped,” said a senior police officer.
This case emerged just days after another shocking incident in West Bengal’s Durgapur, where a medical student was reportedly gang-raped outside her campus.
The accused was presented before a city court and has been remanded to police custody until October 22, pending further investigation.
“We are continuing the investigation, and additional details will be disclosed as the inquiry progresses,” the officer added.
