Two more students of Jadavpur University have been arrested on Sunday for their alleged involvement in the ragging of an 18-year-old undergraduate student Swapnadip Kundu, who fell to his death in a suspected suicide case. The two were reportedly present on the spot when the deceased, Swapnodeep Kundu, was being ragged.
“Deepsekhar Dutta (19), who is in his second year in the Economics Department, and Manotosh Ghosh (20), who is in his second year in the Sociology Department were arrested in the early morning on Sunday,” police said.
The two accused, who lived in the same hostel as the deceased, harassed Kundu mentally at the behest of prime accused Sourav Chowdhury, a report by India Today said quoting an official.
Chowdhury, who did his MSc in Mathematics from Jadavpur University in 2022, was arrested on Saturday under sections 302 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, after Swapnadip’s father lodged an FIR against him.
