About 50 guardians of the students of the OSCAR Plus Two Science College here on Thursday gheraoed secretary of the college Umesh Sahu demanding transfer certificate of their wards.
The class room teaching had been stopped in the college for more than a month due to an ongoing controversy over rent between the house owner and the secretary.
According to the guardians, the college was functioning at a rented house in front of the law college. But the college authority failed to give rent of nearly Rs 12 lakh to the house owner. As a result, the house owner had sealed all the class rooms.
They alleged that the lecturers were not attending classes in several subjects. The guardians suspected that the college authority had been playing with the career of their wards.
On the contrary, the secretary of OSCAR College denied providing transfer certificate kicking off a row. Sahu was confined to a room for not less than five hours. Contacted, Umesh Sahu sought time to issue transfer certificate.
Meanwhile, a police team led by Kendrapada Sadar police station IIC Nilakanthaprasad Patra on Thursday evening rushed to the spot to rescue the secretary from the irate guardians.
