"They are Marxists in cahoots with BJP...": Mamata Banerjee on culprits of Jadavpur University student ragging incident

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 15 : West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday blamed the ‘Marxists’ for the Jadavpur University student death case.
“Who are these people? They are the Marxists,” Mamata Banerjee said adding that they are in cahoots with the BJP and the Congress in Bengal.
“Even today, they are in cahoots with the BJP and the Congress in Bengal and Trinamool is their prime enemy. They don't have an iota of shame,” the West Bengal Chief Minister said speaking about the alleged perpetrators of ragging that led to the death of the Jadavpur University student Swapnadeep Kundu.
In an attack at the Left, Mamata alleged that the deceased student, Swapnadeep was forced to take off his amulet since Jadavpur University is a “Red fort”.
“They don't have an iota of shame. Swapnadeep was forced to take off his amulet because 'this is a Red Fort'. They consider the university as their fiefdom. They don't allow police or CCTV cameras on the premises. There is an environment of terror in the prestigious Jadavpur University,” Mamata Banerjee said.
Speaking about the incident, Mamata Banerjee said, “. I am extremely saddened and appalled at the incident. Jadavpur University is surely a prestigious and reputed institution but some students lack humanity. I do not blame the students there. A section of CPI(M) enthusiasts consider it their birthright to torture young students who come from rural areas.”
The West Bengal Chief Minister said that the deceased student’s father shared with her that his son used to call them and tell them about the incidents of torture faced by him.
“Jadavpur University student Swapnadeep Kundu's father told me that his son would call them and talk about the torture faced by him. His father told me that he could never imagine that these people will torture his son and cause his death,” Mamata Banerjee said.
Earlier on Sunday, speaking to ANI, student leaders from Jadavpur University claimed that installing CCTV cameras on campus is not a one-stop solution to prevent incidents of ragging.
"CCTVs can only help in detecting who is the culprit. But CCTVs cannot help in stopping ragging," Subhodeep Bandyopadhyay, General Secretary of Kolkata SFI said.
A first-year student, Swarnodip Kundu, of Jadavpur University in Kolkata died on Thursday after allegedly falling from the balcony of the university's hostel on Wednesday night. Kundu, a first-year student of the Bengali Department, belonged to the state's Nadia district.
