Ex-JU student planned protest against edu min from abroad: PP

1 2 Kolkata: Former Jadavpur University student and current research scholar Hindol Mazumdar operated from a remote location to organise a violent protest against education minister Bratya Basu on March 1, the state claimed at the Alipore court on Friday. "He was the mastermind of the attack with some ulterior motive. He designed all the action from Spain, reminding us of Aftab Ansari, who designed the attack on the American Cultural Centre from Dubai in 2002," said public prosecutor Sourin Ghosal in court. After the conclusion of arguments, the judge rejected his bail plea and ordered police custody till Aug 18. On Friday, Mazumder was brought from Delhi to Kolkata and presented in the Alipore court. The police requested 10 days of custody, while Mazumder's lawyer applied for bail. The police on Saturday questioned Mazumder on the "bigger conspiracy", pointing to him the messages he shared with fellow protesters.
