Last week, students of Jadavpur University in Kolkata gathered to protest against the molestation of a female student from the institution. The woman was allegedly attacked in the boys hostel by ten men during a college festival in August. While a formal complaint was lodged with the police only in early September, students are unhappy about the manner in which the management has been conducting an internal investigation into the molestation charge. But their protest quickly went awry when police personnel and party workers workers of the Trinamool Congress attacked the students.
On Saturday, the students held a massive march to protest against the attacks and to demand the Vice Chancellor’s resignation, along with an apology from the university for the attack. Here are some Instagram photographs from the demonstration.
