The Calcutta University vice-chancellor held an emergency meeting of the university’s anti-ragging squad on Friday to discuss ways to curb the entry of outsiders into the university’s hostels.

The move comes after a second-year student of Carmichael Hostel in central Calcutta wrote to the university’s board of residence alleging that a former student, who was staying at the hostel, assaulted him.

The differently abled student in his complaint with Amherst police station stated that a former student entered his room on August 11 and verbally abused him. “The accused student graduated two years ago. But still, he has been residing at the hostel....”

VC Santa Datta told Metro: “I have told the registrar to inform the officer-in-charge of Amherst police station to put up a notice on the hostel’s gate of the hostel, announcing that if the student dared to enter the hostel flouting rules, he would be arrested.”

CU registrar Debasish Das said an emergency meeting of the anti-ragging committee was held at 3.30pm on Friday.

“A notice will be issued instructing the superintendents of the hostels to track down those staying in the hostels despite having graduated and ask them to leave,” Das told this newspaper.
