After a law student was raped, the Calcutta High Court ordered students’ union offices to remain closed in all Bengal colleges and universities. The court ruled, “Keep union offices closed until elections,” banned recreational use and allowed access with permission.
Wazahat Khan, arrested in Kolkata for allegedly spreading hate online, was previously involved in the arrest of influencer Sharmistha Panoli. He evaded capture for ten days but was eventually apprehended amid political controversy surrounding his case. Both face allegations tied to social media hate speech, igniting criticism of the West Bengal government.
