JU Deports 4 Students Amid Abuse Allegations
20 Nov
Summary
- Four engineering students debarred from Jadavpur University campus.
- Allegations include verbal abuse, slut-shaming, and physical assault.
- A probe panel formed to investigate the incident thoroughly.
Jadavpur University took decisive action by debarring four fourth-year engineering students from its campus. This measure follows a formal complaint lodged by at least 10 students detailing incidents of verbal abuse and slut-shaming. The university's security personnel escorted the accused students off the premises on Wednesday evening.
The alleged assaults reportedly occurred on Tuesday evening across various campus locations, including the playground, union room, and Aurobindo Bhavan corridor. A letter signed by the complainants was submitted to the Vice Chancellor, prompting the immediate formation of a probe panel comprising faculty and students. The four students, from chemical, civil, and production engineering departments, are alleged to be repeat offenders.
Students described aggressive and threatening behavior from the accused, with one chemical engineering student allegedly making derogatory remarks about female students. The situation escalated to physical altercations, resulting in injuries to some students and security guards. The university is conducting an inquiry, and the debarred students are prohibited from entering the campus until its conclusion.
