An argument broke out between the students and security personnel over clicking pictures at a water tank near the university's main gate
Four students from Kerala studying at the Indira Gandhi National Tribal University (IGNTU) in Madhya Pradesh's Amarkantak were injured in a clash with security personnel, an official said on Sunday.
The incident has drawn sharp criticism from Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan who said the growing hostility towards individuals based on their identities should be resisted, and senior leaders of the southern State.
An argument broke out between the students and security personnel over clicking pictures at a water tank near the university's main gate on March 10 night, IGNTU's public relations officer (PRO) Vijay Dixit said.
The matter escalated into a fight, following which security personnel approached the Amarkantak police station with a complaint against the students, who in turn demanded that the university administration take action against the security staff, he said.
Four students sustained injuries and were rushed to Anuppur district hospital in an ambulance, the official said, adding that further action will be taken soon on the complaint filed by the students.
Amarkantak police station in-charge Vishakha Urveti refused to comment.
