arson at niper
Mohali, May 26 Talking to Chandigarh Tribune, SP (City) Swarndeep Singh said the
police was looking for the main culprits in the incident. "So far, we are unable to pinpoint any student," said Swarndeep Singh. Today, the day went off peacefully at the institute. Several students of the institute reportedly held a meeting in which the next course of action was discussed. "We are upset as our genuine demands are not being met. The indifferent attitude of the management towards our demands forced the students to go on a rampage last night," said the students. A group of around 200 students set NIPER Officiating Director KK Bhutani's official car on fire and damaged another government car and administrative office of the institute last night (around 2.30 am). The agitated students were demanding Bhutani's removal, alleging that he was involved in corrupt practices. Around 50 policemen were deployed at the institute today. Swarndeep Singh, SP, who visited the institute in the morning, said the policemen would remain on duty there till the situation became normal. The students, who have been on protest since March 28 following a professor's removal by the management, have demanded more facilities for them apart from their main demand of Bhutani's removal.
