Tension prevailed when a jostle broke out between BRSV workers and the police after the protesters tried to force their way into the Collectorate premises. Police personnel deployed in large numbers took several activists into custody and shifted them to the police station after forcibly boarding them into police vehicles.

Addressing the gathering, the activists criticised Revanth Reddy for being least concerned about students who were facing hardships due to the delay in fee reimbursement. They demanded the immediate release of the pending amounts and warned that the agitation would be intensified if the government failed to act.
