KOLKATA: Friends say he is eccentric. But, this time even they are surprised at his mindless ways. Somnath Dey is a second-year student of Bengal Engineering and Science University (Besu). On Saturday, he landed behind bars for sending obscene SMSes.
Amazingly, his lewd messages were sent not to any girl, but to the university vice-chancellor and registrar. He even abused the two over phone. This happened on Friday. Vicechancellor N R Banerjea was in Delhi when he started getting some very abusive calls.
When the disgusted varsity top gun stopped taking the calls, he started receiving dirty SMSes. The same happened with registrar I N Sinha. The perplexed varsity officials lodged a complaint with Shibpur police. The cops then traced the calls and the SMSes to Dey.
The metallurgy department student was picked up from his Barasat residence on Saturday. He was released on bail on Sunday.
During interrogation, Dey, an inmate of hostel number 11, told the police that he was upset with the treatment meted out to his best friend Tanmoy Chatterjee, also a student of Besu.
Tanmoy was among the eight students picked up by police on the night of August 22 for attempting to rag some juniors.
"These students were picked up by the police patrolling the campus for violating peace. Tanmoy was among the eight. Somnath was upset with this. He thought of taking revenge by sending abusive messages to the vice-chancellor,"said Howrah SP N K Singh.
After the death of Soumik Basu a few weeks ago, police have stepped up security vigil on campus to prevent further clashes.
Vice-chancellor Banerjea refused to comment on the episode. "The matter is sub judice. I have called for a disciplinary committee meeting on Monday. The committee will decide on the kind of action to be taken against the student,"Banerjea said on Sunday.
