A student was beaten to death inside a college in West Bengal on Friday allegedly during a clash between two groups of students.
The incident took place at Sabang Sajanikanta Mahavidyalaya in West Midnapore district. Krishna Prasad Jana, a BA student, succumbed to injuries while being taken to hospital. The student's friend said he was hit with iron rods and sticks during the clash.
Describing the incident as "sad and shameful", Chief MinisterMamata Banerjee said police have been asked to take "strict action".
Banerjee claimed the incident occurred as a result of a clash at the union room run by the Congress-affiliated Chhatra Parishad, while Congress leader Manas Bhuniya held the Trinamool Congress backed Trinamool Chhatra Parishad (TMCP) responsible for the fatal attack on Jana.
However, the chief minister hinted at factional feuds within the Chhatra Parishad as the cause of the violence.
"The incident happened inside the union room. The union is run by the Chhatra Parishad and not by the TMCP. The victim was hit with a bat during the scuffle," she said.
A Chhatra Parishad activist told reporters that the TMCP leaders wanted to felicitate visiting West Bengal minister Soumen Kumar Mahapatra.
However, a dispute arose between the two groups over this. Mahapatra and TMCP leaders denied the charges.
