But the case took a turn less than 12 hours later, when her father publicly denied that any crime had occurred and alleged police coercion.Paramanand Toppannawar, a second-year student and Karnataka native, was picked up from his hostel on Saturday. He was produced in court and remanded in seven-day police custody under BNS sections related to rape, wrongful confinement, &amp; use of harmful substances with intent to harm.The woman first connected with Toppannawar online. He invited her to the campus for a &#8216;personal counselling session&#8217;. She claimed she was not permitted to enter her name in the visitors&#8217; log &#8211; a claim that institute officials dispute. Toppannawar allegedly took her to his hostel room, citing privacy. There, he offered her pizza and a drink. &#8220;I began feeling dizzy right after,&#8221; she wrote in the complaint, quoted by police. &#8220;&#8230;I can recall him touching me inappropriately. He sexually assaulted me. I found myself on his bed when I regained my senses,&#8221; the survivor wrote in her complaint.However, by Saturday morning, her father gave interviews to multiple TV channels, contradicting the allegation. &#8220;My daughter had called me and said she had fallen off an autorickshaw. Cops said she was abused and arrested someone, but my daughter said nothing happened.&#8221;Police now face a wall of silence from the family. &#8220;They keep saying she is asleep,&#8221; one senior officer said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"KOLKATA: A 24-year-old woman psychologist accused a student of one of India&#8217;s top management institutes in Kolkata of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5569,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[182,181,507,4,5990,5987,5991,2344,5984,5985,5988,5994,5996,5993,5995,5989,5992,74,5986,5997],"class_list":["post-5568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-breaking-news","tag-drugging-and-sexual-assault","tag-google-news","tag-hostel-room-sexual-assault","tag-india","tag-india-news","tag-india-news-today","tag-kolkata-b-school-rape-case","tag-management-institute-controversy","tag-news-on-sexual-assault","tag-paramanand-toppannawar-arrest","tag-police-coercion-allegations","tag-psychologist-rape-allegation","tag-rape-complaint-in-india","tag-technology","tag-today-news","tag-victim-statement-police"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5568"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5568\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5569"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
