Overview
- A late-night Faculty of Engineering and Technology general body meeting turned violent on Wednesday night when supporters of ABVP and Left-leaning student groups fought inside Aurobindo Bhavan, with reports of fires, vandalism and attempts to force entry.
- Several students were hurt and taken to nearby KPC Medical College; named injured ABVP members include Nikhil Das and Diptiman Kar.
- Jadavpur police entered the campus after being alerted, removed non-students from the building, dispersed about 50–60 people inside Aurobindo Bhavan and registered an FIR naming 11 accused linked to Left student organisations.
- Rival protest marches the next day led to fresh clashes at Gate No. 4 and the 8B bus stand, police and central forces set up barricades, and part of the university’s Nandalal Bose emblem was reported damaged.
- The university has lodged formal complaints, preserved CCTV footage and formed a high-level three-member inquiry panel while teachers and politicians have weighed in, raising the prospect of lasting changes to campus security and discipline.
