When the VC did not respond, students smashed the window panes and also broke flower pots. The police took 12 student union leaders into custody and shifted them to the Dharmasagar police station.

The KU JAC decided to conduct a meeting (Vidyarthi UdyamaKarula Sangharshana Sabha) on March 24 and later postponed it to March 29. However, the VC did not give permission for the meeting.

Meanwhile, Association of Kakatiya University Teachers (AKUT) president Prof T Srinivas, and secretary Dr M Estari condemned the incident and demanded release of the student leaders.
