ABVP has filed a police complaint seeking a probe into the Jadavpur University violence and removal of the university emblem from Gate 4. It alleged a conspiracy to frame its supporters and sought examination of CCTV, digital evidence and the role of two professors.

Kolkata: The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) on Wednesday lodged a police complaint seeking an investigation to unravel the 'conspiracy' behind last week's student violence in Jadavpur University and the pulling out of its emblem from a gate.

The RSS-affiliated student groups also demanded that the police probe into the role of two professors who allegedly sought to malign and frame the ABVP supporters, who were demonstrating nearby, for the breaking of the plaque from gate number 4.

A general meeting of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology Students' Union (FETSU) on August 19 evening led to a clash between members of the RSS-affiliated ABVP and Left-leaning student groups at the university here at night on that day and early on August 20, leaving several students injured. Both sides accused each other of bringing outsiders onto the campus.

In a related incident in the afternoon of August 20, both SFI and ABVP supporters scuffled with the police in their bid to enter the campus from two ends of the same road while the law enforcers struggled to keep them at bay. During the melee, the university's emblem was pulled down from gate number 4.
