KRISHNAGAR, 13 AUG: The shocking and brutal death of a young student at Jadavpur University has ignited outrage and fervent demands for accountability within the community. State Child Protection Commissioner Anyana Chakraborty visited the grieving family in Swapnadwip at Ranaghat on Sunday morning to offer condolences and address the concerning circumstances surrounding the incident.
The tragic demise of the student, a promising individual with dreams in his eyes, has left a deep scar on the community. Commissioner Chakraborty, speaking with the parents and relatives of the deceased, expressed her unwavering commitment to pursuing justice. “We cannot allow this matter to be brushed aside,” she declared, vowing to leave no stone unturned in the quest for answers.
Startling details have emerged from preliminary investigations, revealing the presence of cigarette stubs near the victim’s body. Commissioner Chakraborty voiced her dismay at the apparent lack of vigilance within Jadavpur University. “It is unacceptable that such a tragedy could occur without proper oversight,” she exclaimed. She questioned the absence of mandatory CCTV surveillance and registration records in the university hostels, calling into question the institution’s commitment to student safety.
The focus has now shifted to the university authorities, who are under increased scrutiny due to their perceived negligence. “This is not solely a student issue; the responsibility of the university authorities cannot be ignored,” Commissioner Chakraborty emphasized. “We are determined to thoroughly investigate their role in this unfortunate incident.”
Commissioner Chakraborty also highlighted her previous efforts to address safety concerns within the university. “I had previously recommended the installation of CCTV cameras and the maintenance of registration books, but these suggestions were disregarded,” she revealed, further underscoring the need for systemic changes.
The grieving father of the deceased student, Ramprasad Kundu, expressed his heartbreak and frustration at the tragic turn of events. “When I entrusted my son to Jadavpur University, I expected him to be treated like family. Instead, he met a tragic fate under their watch,” Kundu lamented. He fervently called for justice and demanded that all those involved in his son’s untimely death be held accountable. “The entire group responsible for this heinous act must face the consequences,” he insisted.
Despite the sorrow and anguish, Kundu expressed gratitude for the diligent efforts of the police. A dedicated team of investigators from Jadavpur University arrived on the scene to gather evidence and examine the victim’s belongings. “The police have shown compassion and dedication in their work,” Kundu acknowledged.
In the midst of this heartbreaking incident, the local community has rallied around the grieving family. Arup Kundu, the maternal uncle of the deceased student, provided assurance that the family is receiving the support they need during this trying time. Additionally, Ranaghat Municipal Chairman Koshaldev Bandopadhyay visited the family, offering words of solace and solidarity.
As the investigation unfolds, the community’s determination for justice remains steadfast. The tragic loss of a young life has ignited a collective call for change and accountability within Jadavpur University, and it is hoped that this tragedy will serve as a catalyst for lasting reforms.
