Vadodara: Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) leader who led the group that had allegedly assaulted vice-dean of M S University’s Faculty of Arts earlier this week tendered an apology on Saturday.
It was on Monday last that the group of ABVP members had barged into the office of professor Hitesh Raviya, head of MSU’s English department and vice-dean of the faculty demanding that the faculty should cut short the syllabus of the forthcoming examination by 50%.
The group had started addressing Raviya disrespectfully, calling him by his name during the ruckus in presence of university’s vigilance staff.
Some members had even locked Raviya’s office from inside while others tried to push him.
On Saturday, ABVP leader Darshan Gamechi remained present before the five-member committee that was appointed by the dean professor K Krishnan for fact-finding.
“He has tendered an apology and has also apologised before professor Raviya. We are not suggesting any punitive action against him or others from his group to the university authorities as they have realised their mistake,” said Krishnan.
Faculty officials said that they wanted to send out a strict message to such groups and outfits that they will not entertain such kind of behaviour from any group or student leaders.
