Kolkata: Two days after the attack on the Presidency University in Kolkata by alleged Trinamool Congress workers, four people, including a TMC worker, have been arrested. Those arrested are Shubhojeet Burman, Jayanta Haldar, Vishal Jaiswal and Pushkar Kumar Das.
In the first clear admission of a TMC hand in the ransack, the mother of Shubhojeet Burman, one of those arrested, has acknowledged that her son is a Trinamool worker. All four of them will be produced in court on Friday.
On Thursday, pictures of TMC Councillor Partha Basu were also released showing him being part of the mob ransacking the university premises. However, Basu still insists neither he nor any TMC cadre were involved in the attack. "I will resign if it can be proved that I was a part of the ransack," he said.
