Overview

• Students encircled Vice‑Chancellor Nirmal Kanti Chakrabarti through the night, blocked his vehicle, and he later left the Salt Lake campus as the demonstration paused.
• Organizers say the agitation targets alleged financial mismanagement, lack of transparency, administrative failures, and misconduct beyond the sexual harassment case.
• On September 12, the Supreme Court dismissed the harassment appeal as time‑barred and ordered that its judgment be included in the Vice‑Chancellor’s resume.
• During an executive council meeting on campus, students protested before Justice Dipankar Dutta and State Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya and submitted a representation with no decision announced.
• Chakrabarti called the complaint false and the resignation demand unjust, noted courts upheld dismissal on limitation grounds, and said legal steps are underway as reports of some faculty non‑cooperation surfaced.
