KU students roughed up, two hurt Hundreds of students Friday protested against the University of Kashmir against the early release of the date sheet and alleged manhandling by the varsity staff. The BEd students claimed that two students including a girl sustained injuries. “They have issued the date sheet to give advantage to the private colleges ignoring our concern and putting our future into jeopardy. We have enrolled in November 2012 and the session ends in the sme month this year, but they have scheduled the exam from September 28 which is the violation of their own rules.” a group of students said. They alleged that the university authorities manhandled them and did not even spare the girl students who had gone to the varsity to seek the intervention of the controller examinations. “They first stopped us at Sir Syed Gate, then at the main entrance of the examination block, and when we managed to reach controller’s office, he refused to listen and instead the staff pushed us down the stairs,” alleged the students. They further claimed that the staff locked the main entrance of the examination block after throwing them out which prompted them to raise slogans against the varsity. “They have beaten us ruthlessly and injured two of us including one girl,” said the students, claiming that one of the injured had to be hospitalized. University authorities said that principals of the colleges had written to them for the release of date sheet. “We told them to get a request from the college principals regarding the postponement of the exams which would enable us to postpone the exams,” Deputy Controller Examination Inam ur Rauf said. Commissioner Higher Education Sheikh Mushtaq said that the students should come to his office.
