Several students have urged faculty members to request the city police authorities to conduct the investigation in a sensitive manner so that not a single “innocent student is victimized.A section of the faculty members, besides trying to invoke confidence among these panicked students, are also contacting their respective sources in city police, some of whom were their own students at some point of time, requesting the cops to keep the “sensitivity factor in mind.“These faculty members are real friends of their students. We understand and appreciate the anxiety of the students in such a situation. But we were also students at some point of time and we are still nostalgic about our student days. So whenever we conduct any probe relating to any academic institution we apply special caution and sensitivity. Our aim is to punish the culprit and not destroy the career of any student, said a senior official of the state police who did not wish to be named.Already 12 individuals, a combination of present and former students of JUhave been arrested in this connection.Meanwhile, the Raj Bhavan on late Saturday issued a statement announcingthe appointment of Dr Buddhadeb Sau, a faculty member with the mathematicsdepartment of JU, as the interim vice- chancellor of the university.He had told media persons on Saturday that his priority will be to identify the administrative lapses within the university and adopt corrective measures to solve that.--IANSsrc/shb(Disclaimer: This post has been auto published from IANS news agency without any modification to the text and has not been reviewed by editor)
