Forming fact-finding panel by agitating students unauthorised, aimed at fomenting tension: SRFTI

Kolkata SRFTI authorities said an independent fact-finding exercise initiated by a group of protesting students into the campus crisis was "unauthorised", claiming that such an attempt was aimed at "distorting the factual record, fomenting tension and undermining the ongoing SIT probe".

The Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute, under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, said several incidents, including alleged attacks on students, since September 27 have been investigated by a special investigation team constituted by the West Bengal government, and questioned the legitimacy of a "parallel probe by an external organisation".
