West Bengal Police on Tuesday refuted claims by Leader of Opposition in state Assembly Suvendu Adhikari that four students were missing and informed that the students were arrested for their alleged involvement in a conspiracy of murder and attempted murder.

The police said that the "missing" allegation was false and claimed that the four were reportedly planning to "orchestrate large-scale violence" during Tuesday's 'Nabanna Abhijan'. The officials, however, didn't take any name while sharing the information.

"A certain political leader has been trying to create a false narrative about four students who have apparently been missing since last night. The truth is, nobody is missing. The four were planning to orchestrate large-scale violence during the Nabanna Abhijan today and were involved in a conspiracy of murder and attempted murder. They have been arrested in the interest of public safety and security, and their families have been informed," Bengal Police posted on X.

Adhikari, meanwhile, has raised concern that the four students were arrested by the state police. He also alleged that neither the four student activists were traced nor were they responding to the calls made to their mobile phones.

"The following student activists who were distributing food to the volunteers, who were arriving at Howrah Station, suddenly went missing after midnight. Neither they can be traced nor are they answering their phones. We apprehend that they may have been arrested/detained by the Mamata Police," Adhikari posted on X.

Adhikari also said that if something happens to the four students, " Mamata Police will be held accountable".

The BJP leader later said that the families of the students moved the Calcutta High Court and were moving a case against the Bengal Police, particularly against Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal, and Howrah CP Praveen Tripathi.

"Police had not informed the family. The family has already moved the Calcutta High Court and the lawyer will move the case mainly against Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal, Howrah CP Praveen Tripathi. People (of Bengal) are seeing this," he said.

A complaint has been filed in the Golabari Police Station, in connection with the same.
