SRFTI Students Begin Indefinite Sit-In Demanding Vice-Chancellor's Resignation Over Campus Violence
Students at the Satyajit Ray Film Television Institute have initiated an indefinite sit-in strike demanding Vice-Chancellor Santosh Ajmera's resignation. They accuse the administration of inadequate response to campus violence on September 27 and October 4, involving groups linked to the RSS, which they say threatened campus safety and the creative environment. The students allege intimidation by staff and lack of dialogue, while the institute condemns violence and affirms its commitment to student safety. The vice-chancellor has not commented publicly.
