The group of partying hostellers abused and pushed four BPEd first year students against the wall and hit them with rods and belts.

The proctorial board issued a show-cause notice to the hostellers and cancelled their hostel allotment.
“All the boys involved in the violence have been directed to vacate the hostel and they will not be allotted hostel in the near future. I have directed the proctorial board to strengthen the disciplinary team and distribute duties and responsibilities among members on the basis of days and hostels,” said
LU vicechancellor S P Singh.
The board has also been told to develop a card system that will decide the punishment for indiscipline, like a red card for fight, blue for damaging university property etc. A student getting a red card thrice will face expulsion, he added.
