Caste Atrocity Case: West Bengal Court Grants Anticipatory Bail To 3 Visva-Bharati Officials

A Suri court in West Bengal’s Birbhum district has recently granted anticipatory bail to 3 senior officials of Visva-Bharati University in connection with a caste atrocity case filed against them by another officer who belonged to the scheduled caste category.

Vice-Chancellor Bidyut Chakrabarty (another accused in the case) didn’t appear before the court in Suri citing illness.

Prashant Meshram, an official of the central university, on July 5 filed the case against the 4 claiming that he was abused by them for being a member of the SC community.

Meshram also alleged that when he was nominated for the post of Controller of Examinations at the Central University of Odisha in Koraput, attempts were made to prevent his promotion.

The 4 had filed anticipatory bail petitions in the Suri court.
