The University Grants Commission (UGC) has considered a second report by Jadavpur University (JU) on the death of a first-year student "unsatisfactory" and will seek a "detailed explanation and action" from the institution, according to commission chairperson M Jagadesh Kumar on Monday.

UGC chastised the institution last week for submitting a "generic" report on the student's death on August 9, which spurred charges of savage ragging on campus. According to UGC, the report lacked "specific details" on the efforts taken by authorities to combat harassment.

JU registrar Snehamanju Basu, who had stated that the university gave a full and exhaustive report to the UGC, did not respond to HT's calls and emails seeking comment.
