A third-year Jadavpur University female student was found dead in a campus pond during a cultural event, sparking police investigation and campus safety concerns
A female student from Jadavpur University’s English department was declared dead after she was found unconscious near a pond on the campus on Thursday night. The third-year student was immediately rushed to a private medical college, where doctors declared her dead. It is believed she died of drowning during a cultural program held on the university premises.
University officials, senior faculty members, and police arrived promptly at the hospital and the scene for investigation. The body has been sent for postmortem examination, and the police have started an official probe to determine the exact circumstances of the death. The incident has shocked the university community and raised concerns about campus safety.
The Trinamool Chhatra Parishad, the student wing of the ruling Trinamool Congress, criticized the university for allowing the cultural program to continue until night without adequate safeguards. They demanded CCTV footage and alleged that alcohol consumption often occurs during such events on campus, potentially contributing to unsafe conditions.
This tragic incident also brings back painful memories of a similar case two years ago, when a first-year Bengali honours student died in the boys’ hostel after reportedly falling from a balcony following ragging by seniors. That incident had triggered protests and several arrests, highlighting ongoing concerns about student safety on campus.Here is a 4-paragraph news article based on the Jadavpur University female student drowning incident:
