This is a deeply disturbing account that exposes institutional failure, political shielding, and the cost of silence in the face of repeated abuses of power. The details shared by Titas Manna paint a chilling picture of how a known repeat offender like Monojit Mishra was allowed to operate with impunity for more than a decade—despite a long trail of violence, intimidation, and sexual harassment.
Several layers of accountability appear to have collapsed here:
1. A History of Violence Ignored
-
The attempted murder case in 2013, involving the stabbing and mutilation of a catering worker, should have permanently barred Monojit from any institutional association.
-
His quiet return in 2016 after the case was allegedly "settled" raises questions about police, legal, and administrative complicity.
2. Inaction Despite Repeated Warnings
-
In 2017, after being blocked from re-entering student politics, Monojit led a violent mob attack on campus, yet still faced no institutional expulsion or sustained legal action.
-
Titas' account that student union leaders and the TMCP itself rejected Monojit makes the continuing tolerance of his presence even more baffling.
3. Pattern of Sexual Harassment and Extortion
-
According to Titas, Monojit was known to harass women regularly, and even lodged false cases against students. His reputation created an atmosphere of fear where women felt unsafe to speak out.
-
The fact that no woman filed a complaint until the June 25 gang rape, despite multiple prior instances, reflects how broken the redressal and safety mechanisms were.
4. Role of Political Clout
-
Despite the TMCP formally distancing itself from Monojit, he continued to be seen as an informal power broker, suggesting he may have had backchannel support from political figures or local enforcers.
5. Current Charges
-
The gang rape of the first-year law student, corroborated by medical reports showing forced penetration, bite marks, and scratch injuries, is a monstrous crime.
-
Monojit's arrest along with two others must now be the start of full criminal prosecution—not just for this case, but possibly for earlier acts if survivors come forward.
What Needs to Happen Now
-
Immediate expulsion and lifetime ban from any educational institution.
-
A full police investigation into all past complaints and alleged crimes, especially sexual harassment cases.
-
Witness and survivor protection, including for women who may now feel safer coming forward.
-
Accountability within TMCP and the college administration, which allowed this person to operate unchecked for over 10 years.
This case is a sobering example of how delayed justice enables escalating violence, and how unchecked power—political, social, or physical—can turn campuses from places of learning into zones of fear.
