ABVP Goons Assault Professor, Blacken His Face And Parade Him Inside University Campus
Professor Baxi was rushed to a nearby hospital when he complained of skin irritation.
Gujarat: Members of right-wing student organisation Akhil Bhartiya Vishwa Parishad (ABVP) brutally thrashed and blackened the face of a professor at Krantiguru Shyamji Krishna Verma Kutch University in Bhuj town of Kutch District on Tuesday.
There were allegations of discrepancy in the university electoral rolls against Professor Girin Baxi, who is also the head of chemistry department here, reported The Indian Express.
The goons of ABVP dragged Professor Baxi out of a classroom, assaulted him and then threw ‘a black substance’ on him. After this, ABVP leaders paraded Professor Baxi inside the college campus.
“They claimed that voter registration forms submitted by ABVP goons were selectively rejected by Prof Baxi. However, prima facie, their claim was found to baseless as all the forms were rejected as per the rules. Nonetheless, we had scheduled a hearing on the issue at 4.30 pm on Tuesday. But the ABVP goons became aggressive and attacked Prof Baxi,” the vice-chancellor told The Indian Express.
Professor Baxi was rushed to a nearby hospital when he complained of skin irritation.
The Bhuj police has registered a case against the student goons.
