Additional Sessions Judge Rakesh Pandit fixed the matter for the next date after the counsel for Ratan, accused of raping a 28-year-old fellow student in university hostel, told the court that he will argue on the matter once the final report is filed in the case.
Ratan, accused of raping a first-year Ph.D student on August 20, had surrendered before the police on August 25 and is currently in judicial custody.
Ratan apparently messaged her saying he had a copy. Later, he picked her up on August 20 on the pretext of giving her the CD and took her to Brahamputra Hostel, where he stayed. There he allegedly offered her a spiked drink and raped her.
Ratan, an AISA activist, was expelled from the association after being accused of rape.
