😱 Shocking Twist: IIM‑Calcutta Counselling Turns into Nightmare for Student! 🎓🍕

TL;DR: In a disturbing incident at IIM‑Calcutta’s Joka campus on July 11, 2025, a second‑year female student was allegedly drugged with spiked pizza and water under the guise of a “counselling session” inside the boys’ hostel. She woke up to find herself sexually assaulted. The accused, a fellow IIM‑C student, has been arrested, and investigations are underway amid concerns over visitor protocols and campus security.

Breaking the Silence 🚨

A female student was reportedly called for a "counselling session" by an IIM‑C classmate, under the pretense of support. Once on campus, she was taken directly to the boys’ hostel, not a counselling room, and was given pizza and water laced with sedation—which made her unconscious. Upon regaining awareness, she discovered she’d been raped and escaped to report the assault.

Alarm Bells About Campus Safety 🔐

The survivor noticed she wasn't logged in at the hostel’s visitor registry—a major red flag. Despite heightened security at campuses after the recent law college gang‑rape in South Kolkata, she entered the hostel with little scrutiny. This has sparked serious questions about:

• Visitor access controls

• Screening at hostel gates

• CCTV and guard vigilance

Accused Held & Legal Action Initiated ⚖️

The accused student—identified as Parmanand Jain (or Toppaunwar, reports vary)—was detained Friday night and formally arrested after a First Information Report (FIR) was lodged at Haridevpur Police Station under sections for rape and poisoning. Additional persons, including hostel staff and a guard, are being questioned, and the crime scene sealed for forensic evidence.

Echoes of a Prior Horror

This incident occurred nearly two weeks after another brutal gang‑rape at South Kolkata Law College, where four accused were sent to judicial custody. The recurrence of such heinous crimes has severely rattled the student community and prompted widespread protests demanding safer campuses.

What’s Happening Now?

• Police probes visitor logs and CCTV playback

• Hostel rooms are sealed for forensic analysis

• Security review teams are being deployed across Kolkata institutes

• Student activism—including from SFI—remains strong, calling for tougher campus protocols

MediaFx Perspective 🌍

From the people’s standpoint, this is not just an isolated case—it’s part of a worrying trend of assaults on women in academic environments. It exposes deep structural failings: lax visitor management, insufficient security staffing, and campus cultures that enable predators. Senior leadership and state governments must act ASAP—implement strict visitor verification, extra guard deployment at hostels, and real‑time CCTV surveillance.

Students deserve campuses where safety, equality, and dignity are non-negotiable. It’s time for real action—not just empty promises. We stand with every survivor and demand strict justice for the accused, and reforms to protect all students.
