  "account": "The Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI), under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, has accused a group of protesting students of conducting an unauthorised fact-finding exercise into the campus crisis. The SRFTI claims the students' attempt is aimed at distorting the factual record, provoking tension and undermining the ongoing Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe. Since September 27, several incidents, including alleged attacks on students, have been investigated by the SIT constituted by the West Bengal government. SRFTI Registrar Deepak Kumar stated that the institute has also formed its own fact-finding committee to investigate the alleged violence on the campus, which began on September 27. The institute expressed concern over the students' intention to create competing narratives and undermine the ongoing investigation.",
