Jadavpur students' representative Godhuli Biswas (pictured) vehemently denies allegations by Jadavpur University Vice Chancellor that he was held hostage by the JU students.

"We were just sitting there peacefully, singing songs and strumming our guitars," Godhuli told Rediff.com's Indrani Roy.

"There were some outsiders who, along with policemen, attacked us all of a sudden around 2 am. Lights were switched off and many of our classmates were beaten in the dark. Some of the female students were molested.

"These outsiders, we hear, were Trinamool Congress cadres. Who let them in so late in the night?

"Is it the administration's effort to gag our attempts to seek justice for one of our classmates who was molested?

The VC, who is holding this post on a temporary basis, belongs to the Trinamool Congress camp, says students.

Jadavpur university is known for its anti-TMC stand, and students are now wondering if it was the the state administration's way of teaching the students a lesson.

Beginning today, JU students have decided to boycott their classes indefinitely and are seeking an unconditional apology from the VC and Education Minister Partha Chatterjee.
