Commotion ensued between the protesting students and police personnel as the latter detained students and shifted them to Osmania University Police Station.

“Students have been facing several issues including hostel and mess problems, and fee hike. Instead of listening to our grievances, the administration placed barbed wires and barricades barring the entry of students into the administrative building,” alleged Satya Nelli, secretary, AISF OU.

Students warned the university administration of a huge protest by all student organisations, if barricades and barbed wire are not removed.
