Following the death of a first-year student in West Bengal's Jadavpur University due to alleged ragging and sexual harassment, the university is being constantly monitored by the UGC. At the same time, another case has now come to the fore in the university, in which the hostel superintendent has accused of harassment. The superintendent said that during a surprise inspection about two years ago, the inmates of the hostel had also harassed him for the whole night. This is given towards the member of West Bengal Human Rights Commission.
Let us tell you that after taking cognizance of the death of the student, the team of the commission went to the university on August 10 to investigate. According to the chairman of the commission, Jyotirmoy Bhattacharya, the team had gone to find out whether the human rights of the deceased student and other students had been violated. He told that after the completion of the investigation, the report will be submitted to the government.
The report will be submitted on August 24
The commission chairman told that the university administration and Kolkata police commissioner will submit their report on August 24. The commission team interrogated various university officials and three other students who were roommates with the deceased student, during which it was found that the student was not the only one who was a victim of harassment.
Many flaws found in the investigation
The State Human Rights Commission and the police found several lapses during the investigation and recording of the statements of the people. During the investigation, it has also been found that the university is not following many guidelines issued by the UGC. According to a member of the commission's investigation team, the superintendent of the hostel claimed that he too was harassed and tortured by the inmates of the hostel about two and a half years ago.
The superintendent was harassed overnight in the open
The hostel superintendent told the commission team that he had gone to the hostel one night for a surprise inspection, where the students openly harassed him throughout the night. The same number of students told the Superintendent to write that you were caught stealing the mobile phones of the students. After that he never went to the hostel.
Who is running the hostel?
It was also revealed in the commission's investigation that the hostel is being run by the senior and ex-students from the university. Even after completing studies and getting a job, students do not vacate the room. A total of 13 people, including former students, have been arrested so far in connection with the death of the students.
