Key Questions Answered
Bhangar College became tense after students filed a written complaint over indecent remarks, obscene gestures, and abuses targeting ABVP female students, alongside efforts to block Bhangar Mahavidyalaya governing body president Sayantan Basu from entering the campus. The ensuing confrontation, slogan-shouting, and attempts to break the college gate led police to intervene with a lathi-charge and deploy picketing.
Bhangar police arrested a total of four individuals in connection with the incident. Two student leaders named Shahrukh Akhtar Ali Molla and Aslam Habib were arrested based on a student complaint, while two others named Rabiul Mistry and Rabiul Zaman Sheikh were arrested under a suo motu case for illegal assembly, illegal entry, and obstructing the governing body president.
SFI-ISF student supporters are unwilling to accept BJP leader Sayantan Basu as the president of the Bhangar College governing body and are questioning the legitimacy of the governing body itself. Their opposition intensified after Basu's car arrived at the college and student supporters obstructed him from entering the premises.
