Valley, local students clash at Rajasthan varsity

Police said students from J&K wanted to get their practical classes postponed and schedule them after offering namaaz. They were in discussion with the college authorities when local boys allegedly attacked them. The university has over 550 Kashmiri students, out of which 250 were present during the incident and they retaliated by pelting stones at the locals.

“No Kashmiri student was hurt in the incident but one local boy sustained minor injuries. The situation is now under control and the police have been deployed on the campus to maintain law and order,” said Prasanna Khamesra, SP, Chittorgarh.

The students from the locality, however, said the Kashmiri students raised ‘Pakistan zindabad’ slogans ahead of the India-Pakistan match scheduled for Friday evening.  They said they attacked the Kashmiri students in retaliation. The police maintained no such incident was reported to them.
