Burdwan University: TMC-led outsiders beat students on hunger strike

Kolkata/Burdwan, Feb 26 (IBNS): Few students of West Bengal's Burdwan University, who were on hunger strike since Thursday, were allegedly beaten on Friday evening by Trinamool Congress (TMC)-led outsiders, reports said.
Demanding the delay of Hons. (3rd year) exam for 30 days, at least ten students of Burdwan University started a hunger strike since Thursday noon at university's Rajbati campus.
 
Protesting students claimed that few outsiders, led by university's TMC employee union leader Sitaram Mukherjee, beat them badly in the evening with sticks. Journalists were also attacked there. 
 
Few students were injured in the sudden attack and two outsiders were detained from the spot by students.
 
However, local TMC leader denied their involvement in the matter.
 
The VC of Burdwan University, Smriti Kumar Sarkar told IBNS: "I could not visit Burdwan University today and was absent when the incident took place. I heard about the matter from our officials over phone. Can't describe what exactly happened there in detail."
 
Earlier on Tuesday, few protesters under the leadership of Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M)'s students' wing Student Federation of India (SFI) were injured, when police allegedly lathicharged them at the Rajbati campus.
