Authorities of the Vivekananda College for Women today suspended nine of its students and asked 77 others to apologise to Calcutta University Vice-Chancellor Sugata Marjit who was pushed and shoved during an agitation by the students on Tuesday.
Principal Soma Bhattacharya said they have sent a strong message to the students by suspending nine of them for a year who were caught in CCTV footage heckling the VC.
They have also asked 77 other students to tender an apology.
"Tomorrow I will go and lodge an FIR against an outsider who tried to stop the VC's car," she told PTI adding that there were outside involvement in the incident.
The VC had gone to the college for some official work on April 5 when he faced the agitating students who were demonstrating before the principal's office demanding that 95 students who had failed in test examination be allowed to appear in the final examination.
