With the campus mayhem and the subsequent desecration of Vidaysagar bust on the campus during Amit Shah roadshow triggering a political slugfest between Trinamool and the BJP, Kolkata Police are taking no chances
Teachers, students lodge protest against the destruction of Vidyasagar's bust; college authorities file complaint against BJP president Amit Shah and organisers of his roadshow for the vandalism on its premises
The camera placed above the glass box covering the Vidyasagar bust appeared broken and the wires disconnected; cameras outside the room not working either, say college authorities
A bust of the Bengali renaissance era icon was vandalised during the violence at BJP chief Amit Shah’s roadshow in Kolkata on Tuesday evening.
Shah said that it was his good fortune that he made it out safely even as stones were hurled at his vehicle as his roadshow was passing Calcutta University.
The incident adds a new chapter to the ongoing political violence that gripped the state since the start of the Lok Sabha elections on 11 April.
