Hyderabad: The police arrested CPI (M) leaders who had called for a dharna at the University of Hyderabad (UoH), sparking tensions at the protest site.
In an official statement, the CPI (M) alleged that the police used excessive force against demonstrators, resorting to a lathi charge to disperse the crowd gathered at the university’s main gate. The protest was organized to press for various demands, but it was met with strong resistance from law enforcement.
The incident has drawn criticism from party leaders and supporters, who have condemned the police action and vowed to continue their agitation. Authorities have yet to release an official statement on the arrests and the alleged use of force.
