As the protesting NSUI activists attempted to take out a protest rally and march towards the Governor House, Police did not allow them to proceed further and briefly detained some NSUI leaders.
NSUI alleged that the Cluster University Jammu was playing with the academic future of students enrolled in the university. They claimed that the Cluster University had notified examination guidelines for UG intermediate semesters according to which there was relaxation of 20 percent syllabus and 50 percent attempt of theory part. “The university had assured the students that the marks they obtain in the theory papers shall be doubled as one time exemption but the same was not done in case of several students, who have been declared re-appear,” explained Ankush Bhatnagar.
Sunny Parihar accused the Cluster University administration of harassing the students enrolled in its respective colleges. “Cluster University of Jammu did not evaluate the papers properly nor doubled the marks,” he said and urged Lt Governor Manoj Sinha to issue necessary instructions to Cluster University Jammu for either modifying the result or notify date for the re-examination.
Later, Ankush Bhatnagar, Sunny Parihar, Vishu Charak and Sourav Verma were detained by Police and shifted to District Police Lines at Bikram Chowk.
