Clash at private University Sparks Protests, ABVP Demands Strict Action
A violent incident at private university Hostel on Saturday night has led to widespread student protests. The altercation involved a student, Faisal Khan, who allegedly assaulted fellow students and injured them with glass shards while threatening them with knives. The incident has raised serious concerns about campus safety and the administration's response.
Details of the Incident
The confrontation began when Faisal reportedly attacked other students, leaving them injured. Despite demands for strict action, the university administration’s perceived inaction has drawn criticism. Adding to the controversy, Deputy Director Bimlesh Chauhan allegedly defended Faisal while verbally abusing the victims, further escalating tensions.
Reports suggest an unusual relationship between Faisal and Bimlesh, as Faisal was reportedly allowed to meet Bimlesh at night when other students were prohibited from leaving the hostel.
Student Protests and ABVP Involvement
In response, members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) staged a protest at the university gate under the leadership of Yagyadutt Verma, the regional minister of ABVP. The students later marched to the Vice-Chancellor’s office, where university officials accepted their demands and took a memorandum from the protesters.
Demands and Allegations
The protesting students and ABVP have made the following demands:
- Dismissal of Bimlesh Chauhan for his alleged involvement and inappropriate behavior.
- Strict action against Faisal Khan, including legal proceedings for the assault and threats.
Administrative Response
The university has assured students of an inquiry into the matter and has promised appropriate action against those responsible. However, students have made it clear that they will continue to monitor the administration’s actions closely.
This incident has highlighted serious lapses in campus management and student safety, with calls for stricter oversight to prevent such occurrences in the future.
