Police on Friday arrested several members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), an RSS-affiliated students body, for allegedly attacking the vice-chancellor and other officials of Deen Dayal Upadhyay University in Uttar Pradesh’s Gorakhpur on Friday.
The members of the ABVP, who had been protesting at the university gate, were enraged by the senior university official’s refusal to meet with them by the afternoon. Several university officials and students were hurt as a result of the violence.
Angry ABVP members broke into the vice-chancellor’s office, ransacked the space, and assaulted him. When alerted, police rushed to the spot. However, the ABVP members also attacked them. In order to disperse the crowd, police used force, and arrested several ABVP members.
This event comes after a string of demonstrations by ABVP employees, who alleged irregularities at the institution.
