Two former students of Nabgram Hiralal Paul College at Konnagar in West Bengal’s Hooghly district were arrested for thrashing a professor after he tried to protect women post-graduate students from a group of ruling party supporters who forced them to chant ‘Mamata Banerjee zindabad’. The arrested duo was identified as Sandip Pal and Bijoy Sarkar.
Narrating his ordeal to News18, professor Subrata Chatterjee — who teaches Bengali to post-graduate students at the college — said the incident was not only shameful but also painful.
