The warden of Karabi Girls' Hostel, Uma Poddar, has been arrested for compelling the student, who wet her bed, to drink her urine squeezed from the bedsheet on Saturday night, Sub-Divisional Police Officer of Bolpur Prasanta Chowdhury said today.

The girl's father Manoj Mistry, a resident of Mokrampur village near here, had lodged a complaint with the Bolpur police station.

He had rushed to the hostel that night and taken home his daughter, a student of Class V.

The Visva-Bharati authorities had yesterday formed a four-member committee to look into the matter and submit a report.

University sources had claimed the warden made the girl lick the bedsheet she had wetted and not forced her to drink her urine.

The sources had claimed that the girl had wet her bed earlier also and that she was ill.

The warden had told the distraught mother of the student that what she did was 'treatment to stop a bad habit'.

Meanwhile, the father was also arrested on a counter complaint of trespass lodged by the university authorities, the SDPO said.
