Students demonstrate in Kolkata college over form fill up
According to reports, a part of students, who failed to reach their pass marks in test examination, staged protest in the campus.
Calcutta University's Vice-Chancellor Sugata Marjit was also present in the institution to join an event and faced demonstration.
When he was trying to intervene into the matter, protesting students allegedly manhandled him.
Protesting students alleged that college authority beat and molested them badly, after locking the main gate.
Meanwhile, denying allegation, Vivekananda College for Women's principal Soma Bhattacharya told IBNS, "Few second year students were demonstrating today demanding to allow them in Part-II final exams. They all scored 20% or less than that in test exam. They don't have good attendance as well. How could we allow them for university exam?"
"We closed our main gate to identify the outsiders and to stop the entry of more outsiders in the campus. Nobody was beaten here. We didn't touch them. Even we didn't call up the police for intervention."
The situation, however, is under control now. CU VC Sugata Marjit could not be reached over telephone.
