LUCKNOW: Six students of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (BBAU) were detained under section 151 of CrPC for allegedly disturbing peace on campus following a clash between hostel inmates and day boarders on Sunday night.
Police later released the students after issuing a challan against them.
According to police, around 8pm an inmate of Ashoka Hostel got into an argument with three day scholars from BTech and BBA batches.
The two sides, however, went about their ways after a few minutes. The police later released the detained students after issuing challan.
BBAU students didn’t stop despite police warning
Around 11pm, the trio returned to the hostel with three more day scholars and asked the inmate to come out. When the inmate came out, the two sides started trading blows.
Hearing the chaos, several hostel inmates came out of their rooms and joined the fight. A few of them even vandalised a motorcycle parked nearby on the campus.
Around 12am, six police vehicles reached the spot and tried to stop the students.
The police started lathi-charging the group of over 40 students when the latter didn’t stop despite several warnings. During the police action many students escaped, while several hid inside their hostel rooms.
Meanwhile, BBAU’s proctorial board and other officials also reached the spot. Police detained six students, but released them later after issuing a challan.
