Kolkata: Jadavpur University Pro-VC Dr Pradip Kumar Ghosh on Friday said an inquiry committee will be formed to look into the circumstances behind the incidents on Feburary 19 which led to the alleged assault of Vice-Chancellor Prof Suranjan Das by some students. Ghosh told reporters that the composition and other details of the committee will be decided next week.

A scuffle broke out on February 19, between two groups of students, who wanted to approach the VC with their demands as soon as he stepped out of his office after the EC meeting. Das, who fell to the ground, was admitted to a private hospital as his blood pressure shot up but was discharged on February 21. Das, after Tuesday's incident, told reporters that he felt insulted and humiliated and was physically heckled by the students which had never happened in his life in past. West Bengal Education minister Partha Chatterjee visited Das at hospital on February 20 and asked the varsity authorities to find out those behind the incident and mete out strong action against them.
