Summary

A violent confrontation occurred on September 27, 2026, at the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI) in Kolkata between students and members of the Akhil Bharatiya Grahak Panchayat (ABGP), an RSS-affiliated consumer advocacy organization. The clash erupted when students protested an ABGP consumer awareness program and membership drive held in a campus auditorium, with some students entering the venue to remove posters and raise slogans. Both sides accused each other of assault; students alleged ABGP members attacked them with knives, while ABGP claimed students harassed attendees and vandalized property. Approximately 30 students and two staff members sustained injuries. Police initially had difficulty accessing the campus due to locked gates but eventually secured the area. Three first information reports were filed—two by ABGP and one by students. A six-member Special Investigation Team was formed to investigate the causes of the clash. The situation normalized by September 28, with classes resuming and no further incidents reported, though students continued demanding restrictions on outside use of campus facilities.
