Fresh agitation in Hyderabad University, several students arrested
Reports said the incident occurred when a meeting of the University's Academic Council was going on to appoint an ombudsman in accordance with a court order.
However, agitating students protested, saying the VC, whose removal they had been demanding owning responsibility of Vemula's death, has no right to appoint an ombudsman.
Police forced several students, including females, into vans and whisked them away from the spot.
The varsity was hit by protests over suicide by Rohith Vemula earlier this year. The fierce agitation by students which had its effects elsewhere in the country, turned more intense after the VC resumed duty after a two-month leave.
