The vice chancellor of Gour Banga University in Malda district of West Bengal was held captive by the students for more than 48 hours. He promised that we will give 15 grace marks, however, he is refusing that he made nay such promise. After the students freed the professors, VC Misra called the demands of the students as absurd. Commenting on the demands, the VC said, "The students of Malda and Balurghat colleges demanded their internal assessment marks to be enhanced. The students of Gour Banga University finally agreed to lift their gherao on Sunday, which continued for more than 48 hours.
