Kolkata Shocker! Third-Year Jadavpur University Student Drowns in Campus Lake; Friends Allege Suicide Attempt

The death of Anamika Mondal during a campus cultural event has raised concerns about safety and security at Jadavpur University, prompting police investigations and calls for improved surveillance.

  • On Thursday night, an undergraduate female student in her third year from the English Department at Jadavpur University was found unconscious near a campus pond and was pronounced dead upon arrival at a nearby hospital.
  • The student was discovered around 10:30 PM during a cultural event, and fellow students and security staff attempted CPR before rushing her to KPC Hospital.
  • Authorities suspect drowning as the cause, sent the body for a postmortem, began an investigation, and have not disclosed the student's identity.
  • Trinankur Bhattacharya, head of the Trinamool Chhatra Parishad, claimed that drinking alcohol was occurring during the event and called for the installation of CCTV cameras, the creation of a permanent police post, and the appointment of a vice-chancellor chosen by the chief minister.
  • This incident follows the tragic passing of a first-year student from the Bengali honours program in August 2023, who died after falling from a hostel balcony, an event that sparked demands for better safety measures and administrative action at the university.
