Kolkata: Two troopers
of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) were arrested in
West Bengal's Birbhum district Sunday for allegedly assaulting two
girl students of Visva-Bharati University, police said.
"Acting on a specific complaint, we have arrested two CISF jawans
- Atul Singha Bharati and Amar Kumar. Both of them are posted in
Eastern Coal Limited's (ECL) office in Durgapur and came to visit
Visva-Bharati campus in Santiniketan," said Bolpur sub-divisional
police officer Biswajit Mahato.
According to university sources, the troopers, riding a
motorcycle, started chasing two girl students in front of 'Upasana
Griha' glass temple.
Panicking, the students went towards the Vidya Bhavan (arts
department) office, where the troopers, still following them, used
abusive language at them. One of the girl somehow managed to
snatch the key of their motorbike and the troopers then allegedly
used force to take it back.
Later, police were informed about the matter, the Visva-Bharati
sources said.
The two troopers are residents of Bihar and will be produced
before the court Monday, police said.
Visva-Bharati was founded by Noble laureate Rabindranath Tagore in
Santiniketan in the 1920s.
