Five ABVP activists were booked for allegedly assaulting the principal of a government college in the district, police said here today.

The principal of Government College (Sanjauli) Joginder Singh Negi was dragged out of his car as he was about to enter the college premises and was roughed up and assaulted.

Five persons, including a girl were booked for rioting and assault under sections 147, 148, 149, 332, 353 and 506 of IPC and three persons have been arrested, DSP Balbir Jaswal said.

The girl Ankita, named by the principal has not been arrested as she has already filed a complaint against the principal yesterday in women police station and her complaint is being verified, Jaswal added.

Principal alleged that about 60 to 70 ABVP activists including college students and some outsiders armed with sticks and other weapons shouted slogans against him and dragged him out of his car, assaulted him and inflicted injuries.

Negi said that his wife, who is also a teacher in the college, tried to save him but she was also manhandled and virtually molested by the mob.

Identifying three of the college students as Ankita, Abhilash and Manish, he said that he could not recognise most of the students as many of them were outsiders but he heard two other names of Naresh and Atul.

Two of the activists who were captured by the teachers were handed over to the police.

Had some passers by and college teachers not intervened and come to my rescue, the things would have turned worst”,

the principal added.

He said that after the incident, some ABVP leaders came to his office and claimed that persons who attacked him were not ABVP activists and threatened him of dire consequences.

Stringent action would be taken against the college students involved in the incident,

he added.

However, ABVP state secretary Ashish Sektha alleged that some college teachers who were siding with one faction of the students union attacked them and claimed that they are in possession of videos in which teachers are seen attacking them.

He alleged that a girl student Ankita was slapped by the principal yesterday while his brother Atul was roughed up and the ABVP would approach the National Women Commission with proof for action.

Demanding an impartial enquiry into the incident, the ABVP leaders said that they would also approach the Governor and apprise him of actual facts.

Disabled HPU Students Clears UGC NET

Shimla-Crossing milestones in academics, disabled students of Himachal Pradesh continue to achieve what is otherwise considered insurmountable for them.

Eleven differently-abled students have cleared UGC’s National Eligibility Test (NET). Two of them qualified for the Junior Research Fellowship. Five of these students are visually impaired.

It’s important to mention that disabled students had to fight a legal battle to claim their right to higher education in Himachal Pradesh University. Even after ‘The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill – 2016’ was passed, the students had to fight for its implementation as the government did not make it easy for them.

Two students who qualified for the JRF include Saveen Janha, an M.Phil in Hindi, and Pankaj Sharma, P.hD in Tourism Administration. Both are physically disabled, informed Ajai Shrivastava, a member of the State Advisory Board on Disability and HPU Executive Council (EC).

Indu Kumari, a visually impaired student, who is pursuing her M.A. in Political Science, cleared the NET examination in her very first attempt. Similarly, visually impaired Roma Negi, a resident of Rampur, has cleared the exam in History in her first attempt. She wants to pursue her P.hD from HP University.

Other names include Anuj Kumar (Economics), Vinod Sharma (Political Science), Jasbir Lubanand (Political Science), Vinod Sharma Yogacharya (Yoga), Priyanka Thakur (Law), Ajay Kumar (History). Some of these students have cleared the NET examination twice. Raj Kumar is a Ph.D in Education and has cleared the NET exam in the same. He had also passed the NET examination in History and this time cleared the exam in Political Science.

The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Sikander Kumar has congratulated all these students and appreciated their hard-work despite facing hardships due to their disability. He said these students have brought laurels to the State.
