GG News Bureau

Kolkata, 18th Aug. In response to the arrest of a Kashmiri boy in the killing of a Jadavpur University student, West Bengal Assembly LoP Suvendu Adhikari urged an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation and the National Investigation Agency as the issue includes many states.

“A boy from Kashmir was arrested today. Who issued a residential certificate to him? How did he get the OBC A certificate?… The case has now become multi-state so it’s a fit case for CBI and NIA,” said Suvendu Adhikari.

Earlier on Monday, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) sent a notice to the Chief Secretary of the Government of West Bengal, demanding a report on the death of a Jadavpur University student within four weeks.

On the night of August 9, a first-year student at Jadavpur University died after allegedly falling from the university’s hostel’s balcony. Before his death, he was allegedly subjected to ragging.

West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose convened an emergency meeting at Raj Bhavan with Jadavpur University officials.

Six more people were arrested on Wednesday morning in connection with the Jadavpur University student death case, taking the total number of arrests in the case to nine, police said.
