Jadavpur University molestation case: Vice Chancellor says demonstrators thrashed him; Trinamool Congress government feels political heatJadavpur University and the police were clearly at the backfoot amidst the nationwide outrage regarding apathy towards protesting students. The ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) is also facing the heat with allegations that men belonging to the party entered the University campus and tried to forcefully disrupt the VC's gherao.

The 36 students protesting at Jadavpur University who were arrested last night, have now been released on bail, a local Bengali channel reported. The students had first been taken to the Jadavpur police station and the girl student was released on bail. The boys were taken to Lalbazaar police station. From midnight, there were protests before the Lalbazar police station. The protesters left after the police assured to release the 35 students. They were released on bail later this morning.

Meanwhile, the political temperature is already heating up with parties coming down hard on the Mamata Banerjee government.

Vice Chancellor Abhijit Chakraborty said that he was forced to call the police after the demonstrators became unruly. "An ICC (Internal Complex Committee) meeting was going on, probing the molestation case. A section of students became totally unruly so I had to call the police to rescue us. At around 2 am, the police rescued us but during the rescue operation, I have seen, some alleged students started to thrash me. They were hurling abuses and they tried to hit the policemen who were escorting me," Chakraborty said.
