Two student groups clash at Khalsa college-Delhi University, FIR filed

New Delhi [India], September 23 (ANI): Two groups of students clashed at Delhi University's Khalsa College, during which a student's turban fell off.
The incident took place on Sunday and the video has gone viral on social media. An FIR has been registered at the Maurice Nagar police station, and the matter is under investigation.
The FIR stated that one student and his goup were going to file a nomination for the DUSU election when another group of students opposed him. This led to an argument between the two groups, which eventually escalated into a physical fight.
During the altercation, one of the student's turban came undone. The student alleged that his hair was pulled and he was beaten up.
In the video, a group of students is seen standing outside the principal's office. A student wearing a red turban is pulled, beaten and kicked by a few students. During the altercation, the student's turban comes undone, following which some students intervened.
An FIR has been lodged under sections 299 (deliberate act to outrage religious feelings), 115(2) (voluntarily causing hurt), 351(2) (criminal intimidation) and 3(5) (joint criminal liability when two or more people work together to achieve a common goal) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS).
Earlier, the college principal, Gurmohinder Singh, wrote to the Delhi University administration, saying that the college would be conducting its own student elections. The decision, he said, was made following directions from the DSGMC.
The DSGMC governs four Delhi University colleges -- Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Khalsa College, and Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce, all of which are affiliated with DUSU. However, Mata Sundri College for Women, another college under the DSGMC, is not affiliated with DUSU.
The Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College principal said the college's own elections would have office bearers nominated by the Staff Advisory Committee.
The decision triggered protests, with student members of both the RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and Congress' National Students' Union of India (NSUI) gathering at the college to voice their objections.
The ABVP also filed a petition in a Delhi court, challenging the disassociation of DSGMC colleges from DUSU. (ANI)
