Tensions escalated between ABVP members and NSUI activists near the COEP Technological University hostel in Pune ahead of a planned event by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. The clash occurred outside the hostel on Friday evening, leading to the police's intervention. Police spokesperson Hasan Gauhar stated that they received information about a confrontation and found individuals raising slogans while obstructing traffic, subsequently detaining them.
An additional case was registered against six individuals and approximately 50-60 alleged NSUI and Youth Congress members for allegedly assaulting an ABVP student at the hostel. The incident reportedly involved an alleged forced recording of a video statement by a student under pressure from Congress supporters. Following the incident, the Maharashtra Youth Congress criticized ABVP members for threatening women in Pune's colleges and vowed to confront them, while Congress MP Rahul Gandhi invited women to participate in the Chhatron ki Goonj programme, discussing their experiences and concerns.
