A group of students under the banner of “Yuva Kisan Chatra Akrosh”, led by its Convener Mukesh Bhakar, assembled at the University campus demanding arrest of those involved in the attack on lawmaker Hanuman Beniwal on September 23, said the police.
Senior police officials say, the protesters started pelting stones at police personnel forcing them to thrash the students. Around 10 vehicles including some belonging to the police department were damaged. Nearly 20 protesters were rounded up for interrogation.
Mr Beniwal has blamed the police for high handedness in stopping the students’ rally which was being held peacefully. The police resorted to baton-charge and indulged in violence injuring at least 50 students, said the lawmaker, while visiting the injured at SMS hospital.
“A group of miscreants probably of Karni Sena attacked me at Jhotwara on the night of September 23 for unknown reasons and he escaped unhurt,” the lawmaker said.
