Uttar Pradesh Police have registered FIR against nearly 1200 students of Banaras Hindu University (BHU) after their protest turned violent after which cops did lathi-charge.
Few Hours after UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath ordered an investigation into Saturday night’s violence inside the divine BHU campus.
On Sunday, dozen-plus students were detained after their protest as the police used force to expelled them. A video of a female student was beaten with batons by U.P. police added fuel to the queue.
Station Officer Lanka, CO Bhelupur, and one Additional City Magistrate have been removed following the violence at the BHU campus.
A squad of students had staged a sit-in at the main gate of the BHU university after a female student of the Arts Faculty was allegedly sexually abused by three men on a motorcycle inside the campus.
The students who were allegedly protesting were lathi-charged by the cops on Saturday night. A number of students, including females, and two journalists were hurt during the incident.
The brutality emerged after some students, protesting against the incident on Thursday, wanted to meet the vice-chancellor at his home.
