According to locals, some Muslim students asked the Hindu student to delete the post after he went to the college. Tension mounted when rumours spread that acting Principal Swapan Kumar Biswas took the Hindu student's side. A group of angry students went to him and informed him that a Hindu student had insulted religion with a post supporting India’s Nupur Sharma. Asked why Swapan was detained, Narail Sadar Police Station chief Mohammad Shawkat Kabir told bdnews24.com, "The college principal didn't insult any religion. "We'll take security measures if he wants.”Police have arrested the Hindu student and charged him under the Digital Security Act.
