Amid investigations and enquiries going on into the brutal ragging incident of Anand Sharma, a resident of PNGB hostel of Dibrugarh University, one of the accused student Kalyan Dutta who is on the run, likened himself with Lord Ram and said, “As Bhagawan Ramchandra went on exile (van vas) as per his father’ s wishes I too am not living in the comforts of a home with family. This is like van vas for me.”
Dutta said that he would give himself in but before that he wants the investigators to gather proof against him that would prove that he had done anything wrong or was involved in the ragging incident in any way. “I give my word, I will turn myself in but before that request you all to find proof against me if I have done anything wrong,” he said in a Facebook live.
Here is the English transcript:
“As Bhagawan Ramchandra went on exile (van vas) as per his father’ s wishes I too am not living in the comforts of a home with family. This is like van vas for me
If I have to serve a jail term for no fault of mine, I will accept it as God’s blessing, the jail term would be like van vas of Bhagwan (Lord) Ram and then start my life afresh. I plead you all that the investigation should not be a long drawn one….If anyone says I have ever misbehaved or treated anyone rudely or harshly and if anyone says I have done anything wrong then I will accept it even if the person is lying and if anyone says so with proof then I will accept it with my head bowed down. I have faith in God. I am not on the run because I am scare of the police. I know they will not beat me to death. I am staying away to gather myself. I have not been able to come to terms with the incident. I give my word, I will turn myself in but before that request you all to find proof against me if I have done anything wrong.”
So far Dibrugarh Police arrested 5 students and the University has suspended 4 students, relieved the 3 wardens of the hostel from their duties. The Police hunt for the main accused in the Anand Sharma ragging case, Rahul Chetry, and other accused students on the run is on. University’s high-level 5-member enquiry committee and the one-member magisterial enquiry is underway.
