Hyderabad College Scuffle Escalates into Communal Clash
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: A scuffle between two students of a junior college at Shamsheergunj in Hyderabad escalated, when a group of outsiders reportedly entered the premises, creating chaos and allegedly assaulting parents and students. Witnesses reported that some individuals entered classrooms and confronted students, chanting provocative slogans in the premises which turned what police described as a “children’s quarrel” into a communal issue. “Children are innocent, and it is the responsibility of parents and schools to counsel them so that such incidents do not take on communal overtones,” DCP Mehra said. She assured parents that the students involved would not be transferred to other colleges but would instead receive counselling from both the police and the college.
