After meeting the arrested student leaders, Das said that the eggs pelted by his party men did not hit the minister or fall inside his house. It only fell near the wall. He asked if this was a serious crime to arrest for protesting in a democratic manner.
Das further said that if this is a crime, the deceased student had also complained to the head and chairman of Fakir Mohan College Education Department and the Minister of Higher Education, but her FIR was not filed. Isn’t that a crime, he asked.
