The results of the JU investigation panel show that ragging caused the death

It has been learned that the 18-year-old first-year student Swapnadip Kundu was ragged before he passed away, according to the first findings of the internal investigation committee of Jadavpur University (JU), which is looking into the student’s inexplicable death. According to officials at the university, the investigating committee discovered this finding after questioning 25 JU first-year students.

Sources claim that Swapnadip was raped by a gang of students, including several pass-outs, according to the committee’s early findings. He was discovered laying in front of the university’s main dormitory building on August 10 and eventually passed away at the neighboring KPC Medical College Hospital. The committee further disclosed that after Swapnadip plummeted to the ground from the third story of the building, both senior and younger students sealed the main hostel’s gate and convened general body (GB) meetings four times.

Additionally, they blocked Jadavpur police from accessing the dormitory. A few senior mechanical engineering students took part in the ragging as well. However, claims that the two departments’ students were complicit in the event have been refuted. It also learned that when Swapnadip passed away in the teaching hospital, the seniors left the university’s grounds. He was in serious condition when other students and professors took him to the hospital.

In order to gather further information on the first-year student’s death, the inquiry committee would also question the 25 pupils and a number of other individuals. The hostel director and a number of former students who had been using rooms without permission for months have also been questioned. Several engineering and scientific students at the institution are reportedly being investigated by the members of the internal investigative committee, according to sources. The committee has also recommended the JU authorities to provide the former a few more days so they may conduct thorough and reliable investigations to identify those responsible for the event.
