Kolkata/IBNS: A day after a first-year student fell to death in Kolkata's Jadavpur University, another fresher has come out with his claims of suffering ragging forcing him to quit the prestigious educational institution.


Hours after first-year student Swarnodip allegedly fell to death and was discovered naked, Sayan Sengupta has come out with his story on Facebook.

In a Facebook post, he wrote, "... The room I was alloted used to be visited by 20 students who used to inquire about me... After my meal, my roommate and my one-year senior was tasked to make me understand about the 'intro'. As per the intro, I had to knock every door in short dresses after 11 or 12 at night and say 'beware' in a position.

"I was instructed to tell the name of my parents, my birthdate and even the length of my private part. The intro was about to last till 2:30 at night. If the intro consists of any English word, then I would have to suffer punishment in the form of beating."

A former student of Jadavpur University (JU), Sourav Chowdhury, was on Friday arrested in connection with the mysterious death of a first-year student, Swarnodip Kundu, (18), who fell fatally from the hostel's second floor on the JU campus on midnight of Wednesday and succumbed to his multiple wounds at a city hospital early Thursday, official sources said.

The prime accused, Sourav Chowdhury, was taken into police custody in connection with the death of Swarnodip Kundu.

The victim's father has named Chowdhury in the FIR lodged with the JU police station on Thursday.

The accused is a passed-out student of JU in 2022, who lived in the hostel, and is one of the members of the hostel mess committee.

Kundu, a resident of Bogulia in Nadia district, who joined only three days back as a first-year student in the Bengali Honours stream, died after allegedly falling from the second-floor balcony of his hostel.

According to the FIR, the teenager fell off the balcony at around 11:45 PM on Wednesday. He died during treatment on Thursday morning at KPC Medical College.

Kundu’s parents and friends have alleged that he had been a victim of ragging. According to the police, the boy had called his mother at around 9 PM on the day he died and during the conversation expressed fear about “something very scary and take him home immediately”.
