At least four students of the BJB Autonomous College here were critically injured following a group clash on Tuesday.
The injured students were admitted at the Capital Hospital. All those injured are BCom final year students.
The scuffle erupted when a group of students with the help of some nonstudents attacked the victims in front of the college main gate while they were returning after appearing at their final year viva voce examination.
Tension gripped the campus following the incident, and three platoons of police were deployed there as a precautionary measure.
The victims demanded rustication of the guilty students and immediate arrest of the nonstudents.
“We demand arrest of the culprits within 24 hours, failing which we will go for a protest tomorrow,” said BJB Autonomous College Students’ Union president lagnajeet Patra.
Meanwhile, though the exact reasons behind the clash was yet to be ascertained, the police started investigations but have not made any arrests so far. Senior police officials rushed to the spot and took stock of the situation.
