Aligarh Muslim University remained tense on Saturday after a student filed a police complaint alleging heckling by fellow students over Holi celebrations.
The Uttar Pradesh police have registered an FIR against 10 students under Sections 147, 148, 149, 153A, 386, 323, and 504 of the Indian Penal Code for rioting, promoting enmity between different groups, and intentional insult with the intention to provoke.
The action was taken based on the complaint by Aditya Pratap Singh, a student of the Faculty of Social Sciences, who alleged that he and a few other students were heckled and chased by “radicalised elements” on Thursday when they were preparing to celebrate Holi. He said foul language was used against Hindu gods and goddesses by students carrying arms.
