As many as 1,000 FIRs were registered against Students on charges of vandalism and arson. Students and few Journalists got injured during the lathi-charge. Vice Chancellor Girish Chandra Tripathi assured Girl Students that CCTV Cameras will be installed inside the campus. Still, The students haven't called off the protest and sought an assurance from PM over their safety.
