A clash erupted after SRFTI students disrupted a workshop event hosted inside the campus auditorium by the Akhil Bharatiya Grahak Panchayat (ABGP), objecting to the presence of an RSS-affiliated organization.
Students closed the main gate of SRFTI, blocked a bus brought by the ABGP organizers to prevent alleged attackers from escaping, and engaged in mutual accusations of physical assault with the event members.
A large contingent of Kolkata Police, led by DC South, arrived at the scene to control the situation and eventually managed to get the trapped ABGP bus out of the campus.
