West Bengal Education Minister Injured in Jadavpur University Protest

Violent clashes erupted as students demanded union elections, leading to injuries, vandalism, and heightened tensions on campus.

Education Minister Bratya Basu was heckled and injured during a protest at Jadavpur University while attending a teachers' association meeting.
Protesters, primarily from Leftist student groups, demanded immediate student union elections, which have not been held in nearly a decade.
Basu's car was vandalized, and two students were injured, one seriously, as the minister's convoy attempted to leave the campus amid chaos.
The Trinamool Congress accused Leftist groups of orchestrating the violence, while student groups blamed TMC outsiders for escalating tensions.
Multiple FIRs have been filed, one person has been arrested, and police remain on high alert to prevent further unrest at the university.
