Hyderabad: There were ugly clashes between students of rival political ideologies in the University of Hyderabad late on Saturday night which left Kailasam Guduri, a student of the varsity’s Telugu department, with a fractured leg.

It was such a clash between rival student groups last year which led to the series of events that ultimately resulted in the suicide by Dalit PhD scholar Rohith Vemula.

On Saturday night, members of some Left and Dalit student organisations conducted a meeting in the university about the ongoing protests and violence in Kashmir.

Following this, Right-wing students’ organisation Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad took out a bike rally to counter the views aired in the meeting. Around 25 students participated in the rally.

UoH ABVP president Kaluram Palsaniya said, “We were outside one of the hostels when Amol Singh, his brother Sumel Singh who is not a student of the university, and another student, started abusing Bharat Mata and raised separatist slogans.”
