The BJP leader stated that ABVP is an independent body and not the student's wing of the BJP, emphasizing that ABVP will be held accountable for their actions. The violence erupted inside the university campus when ABVP supporters clashed with SFI supporters over a general body meeting, resulting in the destruction of posters and damage to university property.
