SRFTI Alumni and Administration Form Separate Panels to Investigate Campus Violence
The Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI) has faced protests since late September following alleged assaults on students linked to RSS-affiliated groups. In response, SRFTI alumni formed an independent fact-finding panel including Ratna Pathak Shah and Jawhar Sircar to investigate these incidents. Meanwhile, the SRFTI administration and West Bengal government have established their own official inquiries, cautioning that the alumni-led panel may create competing narratives and hinder ongoing investigations. Academic activities remain suspended amid ongoing tensions.
