Arunkumar Maity, the dean of students, met the students on Saturday and asked them to withdraw the hunger strike, a university official said. Presidency University had formed a fact-finding committee to investigate the locking of the main gate. The fasting students claimed the dean of students had asked them to apologise to Lohia before asking her to revoke their punishment.
