All 13 people arrested in the ragging-death of a 17-year-old undergraduate student of Jadavpur University have been charged under the POCSO Act, police said.
The 17-year-old student of Jadavpur University, whose death has sparked a debate on ragging, was stripped and paraded naked at the hostel on campus, police investigation into the tragedy has found.
The Calcutta High Court today refrained from passing any orders in the Jadavpur University death case before hearing the views of the students of the university.
"Nine persons have been arrested by the police. Chief minister Mamata Banerjee is keeping an eye on the issue. We met the parents of the student," education minister Bratya Basu said in Kolkata on Wednesday.
