Police Book EFLU Students From Rival Groups After Clash Over Palestine Rally

The university says the rally lacked prior permission, prompting an internal enquiry.

Overview

  • Osmania University police registered cases against members of both groups following a complaint by the EFLU registrar.
  • Around 100 students joined the Students' Union-led solidarity march, while roughly 30 ABVP-aligned students opposed posters and flags on campus.
  • Arguments over Palestinian flags and posters escalated into a scuffle before police intervened and dispersed the gathering around 9:40 p.m.
  • A 22-year-old former student said ABVP members targeted and hit him before police took him to the station, where he was released after about three hours.
  • Some reports say nine students were named in the cases, including Students' Union president Vikas Porika, as investigations continue.
