The clashes took place near Sulekha Mor in Jadavpur, where students were protesting against JNU violence.
The Kolkata Police denied having lathicharged on students. DC Jadavpur, Sudip Sarkar, said that the police were chasing BJP workers because they had burning tyres. However, while chasing, some JU students had entered the mob and the police couldn't differentiate. "While we were chasing BJP workers some Jadavpur University (JU) students entered the mob. We could not differentiate the JU students from BJP workers who were burning tyres. We did not lathicharge JU students," said the DC, Jadavpur.
The Kolkata Police stated that the cops are conducting all efforts to cooperate with students and law-abiding citizens to maintain peace. Senior officers are in the Jadavpur area.
