Kolkata: LoP Suvendu Adhikari alleges attack in Jadavpur University

Kolkata/UNI: West Bengal Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari on Friday alleged that he was suddenly attacked by a group of unknown assailants when he visited Jadavpur University on Thursday to attend an event organised by the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha.

Adhikari said, "Yesterday, I visited Jadavpur to attend an event organized by the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha. While exiting the venue, around 5:40 pm, I was suddenly attacked by a group of unknown assailants, who managed to breach security and were shouting slogans & brandishing black flags."

"I have lodged an FIR regarding this incident," he mentioned.

The unknown miscreants belonged to the “Revolutionary Students Federation”; an Ultra-Left frontal organisation of the banned Maoist outfit, he alleged.

"The attack appeared to be a response of the members of the said Organisation, who didn't like the fact that I minced no words in my speech and called out their hypocrisy," the BJP MLA from Nandigram stated.

These people are part of a group who have made Jadavpur University a den of anti national and anti social activities, he further alleged.

"They harbour anti-establishment and secessionist ideologies; who are always criticizing the Govt, but at the same time clinging on to the Institution, even after their formal association is over, to keep on enjoying the subsidised benefits meant for the students," he asserted.

The anti-crime wing of Kolkata Police arrested altogether nine accused present and former students in connection with the death of an eighteen-year-old newcomer, a student of Bengali (Honours), who allegedly fell fatally from the second floor in the hostel on August 9 night and succumbed on the following morning at a city hospital.

All have been sent to 12-day police custody by a local court on Wednesday.
