A complaint was lodged in Jadavpur police station on Thursday a day after a group of men and women in camouflage gear like military personnel entered Jadavpur University and positioned themselves outside its administrative headquarters.

JU officiating vice-chancellor Buddhadeb Sau told reporters that the group claimed themselves as representatives of a human rights group.

Mr Sau, however, asked them to introduce themselves through a written communique along with their credentials.

A police officer said a complaint was lodged at Jadavpur police station against one Quazi Sadeque Hossain, the self-styled secretary general of 'Asian Human Rights Society', who along with 25-30 others entered the campus on Wednesday afternoon in army uniform.

"Around 4.20 pm, a person identified as Quazi Sadeque Hossain, who claimed himself as the secretary general of 'Asian Human Rights Society,' along with 20-30 others entered the campus in army uniform," the official said, adding the complaint was lodged by a sub-inspector of the police station.

The leader of the group along with two others later went to Mr Sau's chamber and left soon afterwards.

"They had introduced themselves as a human rights group. As they had sent a communique to me for a meeting, I gave them time. I asked them to provide their credentials in writing," Mr Sau told reporters.
