Summary

Members of the Hindu Jagran Manch staged a protest outside the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI) in Kolkata, allegedly in response to students disrespecting images of Swami Vivekananda and Bharat Mata on September 27. The protesters attempted to breach the institute's gates, leading to a confrontation with police and students. A fourth-year student witnessed missiles and bricks being thrown at students and faculty. Police reported injuries to six of their personnel during the incident; protesters denied assaulting police. Twin FIRs were subsequently filed—one by the SRFTI dean alleging attacks on students and faculty, and another by Kolkata Police as a suo motu case. The incident prompted SRFTI students to begin an academic boycott on September 28, demanding enhanced security, the arrest of those responsible, and the resignation of the Vice-Chancellor and Registrar.
