“ABVP Jadavpur University raised their voice in unison and demanded justice for the first year student of JU who committed suicide on Wednesday. His untimely demise has sent shockwaves, and ragging in college hostels should not remain unanswered.” – @iamharshpansari
“We want justice for the brutal murder of my brother who came from a distant village to study in Calcutta. Demanding for an exemplary punishment of the violent left-hyenas. A gathering will be held at the gate of Jadavpur University on 14th Aug at 12 PM. #JusticeForSwapnadeep” – @AITCTOUHID
“#JadavpurUniversity – the students continue to protest with great fervor, demanding a ragging free campus, and justice for Swapnodeep Kundu.” – @NewsTheTruthh
“Senior-Junior Interaction helps in multiple ways but at the same time #Ragging in any form is still something that should be banned and students should speak up if such things happen. The recent case of Jadhavpur University student is very painful, just 2 days in the college and he fell from the second floor of the hostel building. Suspected case of ragging. Life is precious. There are so many other ways to facilitate this communication. Working so hard to get into such a university and seeing the condition. I have observed major incidents in Government Institutions than private institutions because their administration is very strict in such matters. This needs to be stopped. RIP 🙏🏻” – @arsh_goyal
“India has a big ragging cancer. Shocking news from Jadavpur University – a first-year student’s death due to ragging. Shame on those who killed Swapnodeep Kundu. We want justice. I request PM @narendramodi CM @MamataOfficial please stop ragging. 🙏🙏 #WestBengal” – @yoursoumya0777
“Replying to @ugc_india Please take strict action against Jadavpur University and look into the matter carefully how the student died. The students who have already passed out were staying in the University and no strict action was taken by the university administration nor UGC. Take action @mamidala90” – @Sayanta82911744
