A day after he was pushed and shoved during an agitation by the students of Vivekananda College for Women here, Calcutta University Vice-Chancellor Sugata Marjit today said it might be "pre-planned".
"It looked like pre-planned and there may be political instigation behind it. Outsiders who were present had a role. A boy who was taking pictures stopped my car," he claimed.
"A strong message should be sent that it is not correct to misbehave with a Vice Chancellor," Marjit said.
Principal of the college, Soma Bhattacharya, said there were outsiders and claimed, "When a college teacher asked the boy about his identity, he replied, 'I am a soldier of Mamata Banerjee'."
"We have already identified one girl who is not from our college. A sizeable number of girls who were there are not from our college," she said.
Yesterday, the VC who had gone to the college for some official work, faced the agitating students who were demonstrating before the principal's office demanding that 95 students who had failed in an examination be allowed to appear in the final exam.
