One injured in TMCP's group tussle in Calcutta University campus
According to reports, TMCP's state general secretary Jaya Dutta allegedly went to the campus along with a large number of outsiders.
After the student-leader left the campus, her companions engaged in a scuffle with the followers of TMCP's former general secretary Ashok Rudra inside the university premise, leaving one student hurt.
Denying the incident of a group clash, TMCP general secretary Jaya Dutta told IBNS, "I went to meet the Vice-Chancellor (VC) to demand a free, fair and violence-free students' union election in the university."
"No outsider went there with me and I don't know what exactly happened after I left the campus," Jaya Dutta added.
However, the interim VC of CU, Ashutosh Ghosh, told IBNS, "We will appeal to the administration to arrange sufficient security in the campus until the students' union election process ends."
"I have directed our security not to allow anyone inside the campus without valid identity card," Ghosh added.
