The tragic death of Swapandeep Kundu, a first-year graduation student, allegedly due to ragging, has exposed unethical and illegal practices that have vitiated the environment and instilled fear among junior students at Kolkata’s Jadavpur University.

University students say that several alumni continue to occupy hostel rooms and impose their own regulations on various aspects of hostel life. These alumni, often referred to as “dada” (meaning “elder brother” in Bengali), have asserted control over the hostel premises, exerting dominance and particularly affecting the experiences of first-year students.
