Violence erupts on OU campus again

After a night of violence, tension prevailed on the  Osmania University campus on Monday. Students who were still grudging  their anger on the Sunday’s lathi-charge pelted stones at the police leading to violence.

The police (most of them from from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar) initially tried to run for cover, but soon recovered and again laticharged the students. Incidentally, some police too pelted stones at the students. 

In the clashes between the police and the students, one policeman was injured when a stone hit his head and he was immediately rushed to the hospital. A couple of  journalists who were filming the incident were also hurt . A few of the students were injured in the incident. The police lobbed teargas shells to quell the unruly mob.

The police are not allowing any 'outsiders' into the campus and are checking the ID cards before letting people enter the campus.

As a fallout to the laticharge some students in Warangal and Suryapet blocked the highways and did dharnas.

Both the students and the police accused the media of one sided coverage.

On Sunday police and paramilitary forces laid siege to the Osmania University campus as the tension spread to neighbouring residential colonies with residents coming out in support of students.
