RBU VC tenders resignation after spring fest photos with expletives go viral: sources

Owning moral responsibility for the controversy over images viral on social media showing young men and women with expletives written on their bodies at a spring festival at the Rabindra Bharati University here, its Vice Chancellor Sabyasachi Basu Ray Chaudhury on Friday evening submitted his resignation letter, a highly placed varsity source said.

Higher Education minister Partha Chatterjee told reporters he has "heard" about Chaudhury's resignation letter but it will not be accepted by the government.

"I am yet to get his resignation letter. But I heard the news. I will talk to him tomorrow. He is an emotional person. Why should he alone take responsibility? He will be asked to continue," the minister said
