2 students beaten up in OU clash

HYDERABAD: Campus violence, unheard of in the past decade or so, erupted in Osmania University on Tuesday night as two groups of students clashed. Two students were badly beaten up, prompting the police to post pickets at several spots in the campus.
Apparent simmering differences between the BJP-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and the TRS-backed Telangana Rashtra Samithi Vidyarthi Vibhag (TRSVV) came to the fore after Subash Chandra Bose, an ABVP activist, riding a scooter ran into TRS youth wing member Venkatesh in the campus on Tuesday night.An argument broke out between the two, leading to the two groups attacking each other.
Six students have been arrested. They have been identified as Subash Chandra Bose (25), a LLB first year student, Mohan Rao (25), a PhD student, P Narender Reddy (22), V Venkanna (23), P Raju (23) and B Raja Gopal (25), all MA first year students.
The university authorities are considering the suspension of 14 students who were involved in the incident. The police said the situation in the campus was well under control.
