JU Alumnus Slams Bengal Govt's 'Intolerance' After Court Remarks

Hindol Majumdar, a researcher and former student, was compared to a terrorist by the West Bengal government, which he criticized for being intolerant to criticism.

He was accused of planning an attack on a minister's convoy but was later granted bail.

Majumdar, who studies how to detect kidney disease, argues that his critiques aim to help the government improve.

He was surprised by the government's comparison, and worried about his seized laptop containing research and the ongoing lookout notice.

He met people from different backgrounds, while in custody, providing a new perspective on societal issues.
