Had CCTVs Been Installed Earlier my Son Would Not Have Died: Father of JU Ragging Victim

As the process for installation of CCTV cameras has started in Jadavpur University amid the recent ragging-related death of a fresher on August 10, the victim’s father has said that had this initiative been taken much before probably he and his wife would have not have lost their minor son. Had the CCTV been installed there, the JU authorities would have been aware of the kind of mental harassment and ragging that fresher students like my son had to go through there. As informed by the JU authorities on Saturday, a total of 29 artificial intelligence-enabled CCTV cameras will be installed at 10 locations, one of which will be the main entrance gate of the main students’ hostel where the mishap took place on August 10. JU insiders have admitted that all past attempts to install CCTV cameras on the campus did not turn out to be fruitful mainly because of the resistance from a section of the students’ unions.
