Kolkata: Sourabh Chowdhury, arrested in connection with Jadavpur University student death case, was produced before Alipore Court on Saturday.

Sourabh Chowdhury is an accused in Jadavpur University student death case, where a first-year student died after he allegedly fell from the balcony of the university hostel.

The accused is an ex-student of the university and was arrested on Friday. A first-year student, Swarnodip Kundu, of Jadavpur University in Kolkata died on Thursday after allegedly falling from the balcony of the university's hostel on Wednesday night.

On Thursday, West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose visited the hostel and said that strong action will be taken and justice will be served. Talking to the media after visiting the university hostel, Governor said, "I went to the hostel, I discussed with the students... and also the teachers, they want justice. Justice will be done. They presented before me some of the basic issues here. We'll address them... We'll do our best, we'll give them justice, and strong action will be taken..."

Earlier, officials informed that the preliminary postmortem reports point that the student died after falling from a high place. "He suffered severe injury to the left side of the head and his left rib and pelvis were fractured due to the impact," they said, citing preliminary postmortem reports.

Kundu, a first-year student of the Bengali Department, belonged to the state's Nadia district. The teen was taken to nearby KPC Hospital in Jadavpur in the night itself by classmates. "The student died in the hospital on Thursday morning while undergoing treatment," police said earlier. (ANI)
