Student suspended from college allegedly for burning Tricolour

Published on: 

A final year student of the Indira Gandhi Government Dental College, Jammu was suspended by the college authorities following complaints by the fellow students that he allegedly thrashed students and also burnt down Indian Tricolour after India was ousted out of the T-20 World Cup semi-final match in Mumbai late Thursday night.

According to college authorities, the trouble on the campus started around 11 pm on Thursday night after India was defeated in the T-20 World cup semi-final match.

A final year student who is a close relative of former Congress Minister allegedly grabbed Indian Tricolour from one of the students and reportedly burnt it down minutes after the students and staff members dispersed after the match was over.

The students had sought special permission to watch cricket match inside the college auditorium on big screen and the permission was granted by the college authorities after senior staff members also agreed to remain present to enjoy the cricket match.

Initially college authorities resisted students pressure to suspend the nuisance maker but when local leaders also intervened and staged protest demonstrations the college Principal submitted a written compliant to the nearby police station seeking action against the student.
