“A case has been lodged against the two under sections 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) of Indian Penal Code (IPC). We have arrested both the accused,” said inspector Mohammed Qasim, Baradari police station.
When contacted, prof A K Gupta, dean, Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), Mahatma Jyotiba Phule (MJP) Rohilkhand University said, “Though the students do not own gun, they brought it from outside. As I am not authorized to suspend students. I will write to vice-chancellor, registrar and chief proctor to take strict action against the accused students.
“Such acts defame the whole university and if proper measures are not taken, it encourages other students to indulge in violent activities,” said Gupta.
