The three accused were arrested yesterday (Thursday). Medical examination of the 24 years old woman was also done on the same day.

"The evidence corroborated what the victim alleged in her complaint lodged with the Kasba Police Station. There is evidence of forceful penetration, bite marks and nail scratches on her body," the officer told PTI.

In response to an inquiry, he told that the prime accused, an ex-student of the college and a practising criminal lawyer raped her whilst the other two were watching out of a room.

"According to a Supreme Court judgement, all persons in a group involved in cases of gang rape must be held liable, even if all of them did not commit the act of rape. In this case, two other persons helped in the rape. So this is a case of gang rape, and they are also accused in the case," Chief Police Prosecutor Sourin Ghosal told PTI.

The episode at the law college revived the gruesome nature of the rape and gruesome murder of an intern within the premises of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital at north Kolkata in August last year.
