Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has said that not a single one of the 14 people arrested so far over the violence during Friday’s protest rally in Kolkata was actually a student. The demonstration, held against the NEET paper leak and other examination scandals, turned violent, with police personnel and journalists coming under attack.

Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Adhikari said CCTV footage and video clips had helped identify those responsible, and investigators found they were fundamentalists who had infiltrated the rally disguised as student activists, with the sole aim of stirring up unrest in the city.
