- Jadavpur University has said an inquiry committee will soon ask students to depose in connection with the alleged assault on two research scholars in December, following a sit-in by students in front of the vice-chancellor’s office since last Monday.
- A pro vice-chancellor told the protesting students on Friday that a retired judge had been asked to investigate the complaint of assault and would soon ask students to depose before him.
- The students who have joined the sit-in are also demanding a probe into the allegation that its unit president was recently threatened with assault by an SFI leader in a video message.
- The research scholars were allegedly assaulted when the university was conducting ‘spot counselling’ to fill first-year BTech seats in December.
