The report of the then additional chief secretary and now the home secretary Mr Asok Mohan Chakrabarti, to probe into the destruction of property at the Science Club and office of Karmachari Sansad, JU on the night of 5 April 2007, clearly stated that JU authorities denied police entry despite the utter lawlessness within the campus. Police could have controlled the situation much earlier and hence saved the university from incurring such a huge loss and destruction of property, the report said.

On the fateful night, a huge contingent of police was posted outside gate no. 4 of JU. The report read that a group of students entered the campus by climbing the gate and since JU authorities restricted police entry, the unruliness could not be controlled. Even after the situation turned worse with the science club in flames, the JU authorities did not feel the necessity of seeking police protection.

However, the report stated "the police contingent stationed outside the campus could see flames and smoke inside the campus".
