Defying court orders, some student groups on Thursday conducted Beef Festival event on the Osmania University campus. The pictures of students enjoying beef were released and the police immediately swooped on the hostels. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Raja Singh, who has condemned the event, has been taken into preventive custody.
