Unrest in Presidency College surrounding the students’ union elections continued today. The Independents’ Consolidation (IC) along with students of Medical College and Jadavpur University took out a rally on Thursday protesting against the decision of the election tribunal to postpone the panel election by 15 days.
The rally, which started from College Street, went through Amherst Street, B.B. Ganguly Road and concluded at Medical College. Earlier, Promod Gupta, a second-year student had been reported missing since February 28. The SFI had claimed that IC had kidnapped the student, but in an anti-climax Gupta was traced on Thursday.
A resident of Bauria in Howrah, Gupta had been arrested on Wednesday in Tikia Para station for alleged eve-teasing and travelling without a valid ticket. He also allegedly tried to bribe the police for which he was put inside the lock-up and released on Thursday morning. SFI supporters in the college have remained tight-lipped about the incident.
