Azad Samaj Party Workers Block Road Outside SP Office Over College Clash In MP’s Ujjain

In Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, members of the Azad Samaj Party blocked a road near the SP office on Wednesday evening, objecting to the lack of registration of an FIR following a clash at Government Madhav Science College. Police arrived at the scene and spent roughly an hour urging the protesters to disperse. The demonstrators were eventually taken to Madhav Nagar police station. The police assured the protesters that action would be taken following an investigation into the incident.

The dispute centers around a demonstration held at the Government Madhav Science College on Tuesday by the BASF, in protest of student issues. During this protest, the college's main gate was shut. After presenting a memorandum to the principal, an alleged assault occurred in the college canteen area involving BASF state general secretary Ram Solanki.

Solanki suffered a head injury and was bleeding; he received treatment at Government Charak Hospital. He claimed that office-bearers and workers from the ABVP attacked him using dustbins, chairs, and rods. However, Adarsh Chaudhary, the convener of the ABVP Ujjain division, refuted these allegations, stating that ABVP office-bearers were not present at the college premises when the incident occurred.

Instead, they were attending a women's wing program at the Geeta Bhawan Auditorium. Chaudhary alleged that the accusations were false due to political rivalry.

TI Gajendra Pachoria mentioned that the protesters were taken to the police station after being persuaded to end their demonstration. He indicated that the matter is under investigation and that further action will be determined based on the investigation's findings.
