Harimohan Ghose College is an undergraduate college in Garden Reach, Kolkata.[1] It is affiliated to the University of Calcutta. It was established in the year 1963.
Harimohan Ghose College is recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC).
In 2015, The Telegraph reported that the college had struggled to appoint a principal, following the 2013 shooting of a police officer outside the school.[2]
In 2013, a police officer, Tapas Chowdhury, was shot dead during preparations for student elections at the college. 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 This was retracted after the TV footage was aired and it was determined that the pistol-wielding Sheikh Suhan was the nephew of an assistant to Trinamool councillor Muhammad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.
