“He was attacked with a dao, his tongue was cut. Biswarup Bhattacharjee assaulted research scholar, we demand his arrest. He was accompanied by Krishnangshu Chakraborty and unless the Police take action against both, our protest will continue,” said General Secretary Dutta.

A complaint has been lodged by Biswajit Rudrapaul himself where he states, that ex president of Assam University Students Union Biswarup Bhattacharjee and his friend Krishnangshu Chakraborty department of computer science, entered his room. “They tried to kill me with some weapons like knife blade, iron rod at around 12:30 a.m. post midnight,” he stated in his complaint.
