A 20-year-old college student, who slipped into a coma after being assaulted for protesting against eve-teasing in West Bengal's Howrah district, succumbed to his injuries Monday.

Arup Bhandari, who was comatose since being hospitalised Jan 29, died this morning, an official of the nursing home where he was admitted, said.

The incident happened Jan 28 when several residents of Hrishikesh Ghosh Lane were taking a Saraswati idol for immersion.
