Death of Police officer in student politics

The college shot to limelight on 11 February 2013, when Assistant Sub Inspector Tapas Chowdhury was shot dead during preparations for student elections. Live TV footage taken by ABP Ananda showed the gun being fired by Sheikh Suhan, who was able to flee despite a significant police presence at the spot.

President of the college governing body, Trinamool Congress minister Firhad Hakim, initially suggested that Congress goons were behind the firing. This was retracted after the TV footage was aired and it was determined that the pistol-wielding Sheikh Suhan was the nephew of an assistant to Trinamool councillor Muhammad Iqbal (Munna), who went into hiding after the incident. Munna was arrested from Dehri-on-Sone later

Teachers of the college were unaware of the dates for the election. They felt "sidelined since no one bothers to listen to our suggestions" and said that the "governing body has not done anything to improve the academic standards".
