KOLKATA, March 25: The Students of Bengal Engineering and Science University protested against police atrocities and step-motherly attitude of university authorities in front of Metro channel this afternoon.
“Although FIRs have been lodged against more than 50 students, the main culprits have been purposely protected by the university authorities. Police refused to lodge our complaints against those culprits. No FIR has been lodged against the SFI supporters”, said Mr Shyamasis Das, spokesperson, Independent Consolidate (IC).
Despite knowing the students who were involved in the scuffle, university authorities have taken no action against them. Again, no enquiry has been made to find out whether outsiders were involved in the incident that took place last Thursday. “Some outsiders had beaten up around 20 students at first gate but authorities made no enquiry into it”, said another student.
Students alleged that instead of handling the situation, authorities asked them to vacate hostels at night. Even, the physically handicapped students and those who were injured were not spared and had to leave the hostel. “We carried neither books nor any money and had to spend the night in Howrah station”, said a student. Concerned about the prevailing tension, a student said “We are afraid that we might be attacked by SFI supporters anytime.”
Around 11 students of Besu surrendered at Howrah court today and were released on bail. n SNS
