clashes Erupt Between Students and Security Personnel at BHU After Late-Night Incident
A late-night clash at Banaras Hindu University erupted after a vehicle allegedly hit a student, triggering a confrontation between students and security personnel. With accusations of security aggression and student retaliation through stone-pelting, the tense incident has prompted urgent administrative efforts to restore order on campus.
According to students present at the scene, frustration mounted after the collision, with groups gathering to demand immediate action. Tempers flared further when, as alleged by several students, some faculty members encouraged security personnel to take a tougher stance against the crowd. Security staff reportedly resorted to physical force, which only deepened tensions and prompted students to retaliate with stone-pelting.
The clash left parts of the campus unsettled through the night as both sides confronted each other amid rising hostilities. University authorities have since moved to restore order, deploying additional personnel and engaging with student representatives in an effort to calm the environment and prevent further disturbances.
As investigations continue into the causes and handling of the confrontation, the incident has reignited concerns about campus safety, administrative accountability, and the need for stronger conflict-resolution mechanisms at one of India’s most prominent universities. The administration has urged students to maintain peace while steps are taken to fully assess responsibility and prevent similar flare-ups in the future.
