The father of the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta (IIM-C) student has denied that she was raped by a fellow student,  and instead claimed his daughter was hurt after falling from an autorickshaw.

Amid shock and reports of the arrest of the accused the father said she told him that she was not sexually assaulted.

"I received a call from her at 9.34 pm. She informed me she was injured after falling from an autorickshaw. My daughter told me she was unconscious," he told the media.

He said she did not disclose to him the location of the mishap.

He said he tracked her daughter's location and found that she was admitted to the state-run SSKM Hospital.

"I came to know that the police rescued her and took her to a hospital," he said.

He said her daughter informed him that she was not sexually assaulted.

"The police told me they have registered a case and arrested someone. My daughter said the police told her to say something during the medical exam, and she did not," the father told news channels.

"I have spoken to my daughter. She said no one tortured her or misbehaved with her. I have got back my daughter, she is normal. She has no connection with the man who has been arrested," he said.

Meanwhile, the youth arrested in connection with the alleged rape of the student has been sent to seven-day police custody.

The alleged incident was reported days after a female student was raped by TMC functionary Monojit Mishra and two others inside the campus of South Calcutta Law College in Kolkata's Kasba area.

While Monojit is an alumni, the two other accused were the victim's batchmates.

The reports of rapes emerged from the state in less than a year after a massive outrage over rape and murder of an on-duty junior doctor at a seminar room in Kolkata's state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
