Last week, the campus had witnessed clashes between local and non-local students over India’s defeat in the semi-final match in the World T20 tournament.
The unrest was witnessed again on Wednesday, with outstation students expressing a sense of insecurity and attempting to leave the campus.
The situation lead to a confrontation between students and security forces which resorted to lathicharge in which some were injured.
