Two held in JU molestation case

Two engineering students of Jadavpur University (JU) were today arrested for allegedly molesting a fellow girl student, police said.
The duo were summoned by police at the Jadavpur Police Station following which they were arrested and later released on bail after a brief interrogation about the incident last week, a top police official said.
"We are trying to look for the third student named by the girl in her complaint to us," he said.
Meanwhile, without referring to JU students' agitation against varsity authorities last year, West Bengal Governor KN Tripathi questioned their silence in the alleged molestation case.
"Why are they (the JU students) silent? Why don't they come forward? Why don't they help the police in catching those students who are guilty of molestation?" Tripathi told reporters here.

Last week, a first year student of the JU lodged a complaint with the police alleging that she was molested by three engineering students during a fest inside the campus.

Incidentally, JU students had launched a major agitation against the varsity's then Vice-Chancellor Abhijit Chakrabarti over a molestation case last year.
Chakrabarti had called police inside JU campus to tame down the students demanding an independent probe into that molestation incident.
State Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had to intervene, leading to Chakraborti's resignation from the VC's post.
