Jadavpur varsity student's death: Police make 2 more arrests
While one of the three arrested persons is a former student, the other two are from the Economics and Sociology departments of the university
So far, three people have been arrested in the case.
A former student of the varsity, who continued staying at the main hostel, was apprehended on Friday (August 11).
“One second-year student of Economics and another of Sociology were arrested on Sunday morning,” a senior officer of Kolkata Police said.
The former belongs to Bankura district, while the latter hails from Arambagh in Hooghly, he said.
Swapnadip Kundu, a resident of Bagula in Nadia district, fell from the second-floor balcony of the main hostel building around 11.45 pm on Wednesday and died while undergoing treatment at a hospital at 3.40 am on Thursday.
"The names of the two surfaced after night-long grilling of the arrested ex-student. Both are boarders of the same hostel and were there when the teenager allegedly fell from the second floor of the hostel building. We will question them to get names of those who are also somehow involved in the matter," the officer told PTI.
The two students will be produced before a court later in the day, he said.
An FIR has been registered after the deceased's father lodged a complaint, alleging that a few boarders of the hostel were responsible for his son's death.
