SRFTI students clash with ABGP members on campus; Kolkata Police step in
A campus event at SRFTI in Kolkata turned confrontational as students clashed with members of the Akhil Bharatiya Grahak Panchayat, prompting police action.
A clash broke out at the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI) in Kolkata during an event on campus, pitting students against members of the Akhil Bharatiya Grahak Panchayat (ABGP). The confrontation has left the institute unsettled and raised questions about how an outside organisation came to be involved in an on-campus programme.
Students have objected to the presence of the ABGP at the institute, questioning why an external body was allowed to participate in an event at SRFTI. Their concerns centre on the propriety of an outside organisation operating within the campus space and the circumstances that led to the clash.
The Kolkata Police have taken action in the matter, though the wire feed does not specify the nature of the steps initiated so far. The incident has drawn attention to the tensions surrounding the event and the role of external groups at the institute.
With students pressing for answers on the ABGP's involvement, the episode has become a flashpoint at SRFTI, even as police proceed with their response to the clash.
