Tensions escalated sharply at the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute on Friday after security personnel allegedly harassed Emmy-nominated filmmaker Ronny Sen.
The students’ union invited Sen to conduct a workshop titled Cinema as a Weapon of Resistance.
Institute authorities countered these claims by stating that Sen entered the premises without authorisation by scaling the boundary wall.
Administrators summoned the police and forced the filmmaker to leave the campus immediately.
Students staged a sit-in protest on the road outside the main gate when authorities blocked the session.
The union asserted that administrators barred multiple filmmakers from engaging with students in recent months.
Academic activities remain severely disrupted because the administration shut down essential campus facilities since October fifteenth.
Institute officials defended their actions by filing a formal police complaint regarding trespassing and security threats.
Campus tensions persist following a violent clash between students and right-wing organisation members on September twenty-seventh.
