Another student suffered a severe eye injury. These kinds of incidents are totally unacceptable. Campus violence should stop immediately,” Bhattacharjee said while addressing a programme in Kolkata.
Student Federation of India (SFI) supporter Swapan Kole died after he was thrashed while filing his nomination for college elections at Andul College in Howrah district Thursday following a clash between the Trinamool Congress Chatra Parishad (TMCP) and the SFI, students’ wing of the Communist Party of India-Marxist.
In a separate incident Thursday, 10 students were injured in a clash between the two groups outside Asutosh College in south Kolkata.
