Rediff.com's Indrani Roy reports that Jadavpur University has constituted a neutral five-member committee to probe the 'alleged' molestation case. JU authorities will also bear the expenses of treatment of five students injured during police 'operations'.

Thousands of students had marched through the city's streets on Saturday demanding the resignation of JU vice-chancellor Abhijit Chakrabarti. West Bengal governor K N Tripathi intervened to end the four-day old stalemate in the prestigious educational institution.

Students from Presidency University, Calcutta University and other educational institutions joined the march in a show of solidarity.
