"Today all the students got together at the vice chancellor's chamber to protest against the non formation of a students' council. During the protest the corrupt vice chancellor called in the police and the students were charged with batons. Many students have been injured and following this students vandalized some vehicles in retaliation."

The protest almost lasted two hours. More than a dozen students were injured in the baton charge. And in response, the students damaged the vehicles that were parked in the area.
