Vice-Chancellor Suranjan Das tried to intervene and requested the students to let the Union Minister get inside the JU, but, the students refused to listen to his plea.
In between, the V-C rescued the minister and took him inside the campus. The students were stopped entering the V-C's office after which they began sloganeering again.
The V-C later complained of ill health and was taken to a hospital. Paul also faced the demonstration. Later, the students blocked Supriyo's way again when he tried to leave the campus. He was again attacked, his spectacles fell off, and his shirt was torn.
Later during the day, ABVP supporters resorted to vandalism inside the campus.
Taking into account the continued violence and alleged assault on Union Minister Babul Supriyo at Jadavpur University, the ABVP is set to launch a nationwide contact programme to expose the violent face of the Left and Trinamool Congress politics.
