"We have arrested two persons in regard to the death of a college student. We are investigating the case," IG (law and order) Anuj Sharma told PTI.
Paresh Mandal (18), a first year student of Kalinagar College and a Trinamool Congress student leader, was allegedly beaten up by SFI (CPI-M's students' wing) supporters over a scuffle regarding filing of nomination papers for college elections yesterday, leading to his death, in the Sandeshkhali area of North 24 Parganas district.
"Law should take its own course, investigation is on. I am not saying that SFI is not involved, but a complete investigation will bring out the truth," Trinamool Congress leader Partha Chatterjee said.
