JU scuffle to be probed, VC in a state of shock: Partha

West Bengal Education Minister Partha Chatterjee Thursday said Jadavpur University Vice Chancellor Suranjan Das, who was hospitalised after some students allegedly manhandled him, is in a state of "shock".

Chatterjee, who visited Das at the hospital earlier in the day, told PTI that the incident will be probed.

"We have asked for a video footage of the incident. We want to find out who all are behind (the alleged assault). Das is still in a state of shock," he said.

Stating that Das was subjected to "verbal abuse", Chatterjee said, "I have heard about the entire incident from the pro-VC and registrar. I will certainly report the matter to the chief minister. This can't go on. JU is a matter of pride for all of us."
