In the name of Dol Utsav, the students of Rabindra Bharati created an ambience of garbage which is unthinkable.Their parents embraced Rabindra culture but failed to imbibe into them. Bengalis will never forgive this behavior. pic.twitter.com/XBlslGk0Bu

The girl students used the lyrics from a Youtuber named Roddur Roy’s His song was a parody song using obscene language based on the Tagore song. Roddur Roy’s songs had already created outrage earlier, and a Change.org petition was also floated to take down his Youtube Channel and Facebook page.

A formal complaint was registered . Following it, 5 accused surrendered before university authorities and apologized. None of them has been arrested so far while the 6th accused is still on the run.
As a Bengali, it pains me to even have a glance at this ! But this is for all Bengali friends here on Twitter to see what 34 years of Communist rule has done to us ! I became numb after seeing this. Sad day for Bengal. pic.twitter.com/Ctx2d0JDnW
