A Kolkata court granted interim bail to a second-year IIM‑Calcutta MBA student, Paramanand Mahaveer Toppannavar (age 26), on July 19, after he was arrested on July 12 for allegedly raping a 24‑year‑old woman in a campus hostel on July 11 . The Alipore court imposed a ₹50,000 bond and highlighted two key factors influencing bail: the victim’s delayed and absent confessional statement, and the magistrate’s inability to record it in time . The case has sparked widespread concern about campus safety and procedural lapses in sensitive sexual assault investigations. (PC: PTI)
