Attack incident on IIT-M campus draws High Court ire

When the first bench headed by Chief Justice Indira Banerjee commenced its sitting after a month-long summer recess, senior advocate NJR Prasad mentioned about the incident as to how a boy suffered fracture in his hand and another suffered injury in his eye. He sought to move an urgent petition in this regard. 

The CJ on wondering as to how a simple protest can end up with such injuries, asked the advocate to file a petition and directed the government Pleader to look into the issue of the student whose arm was broken in the protest. 

The altercation had transpired on Tuesday over a beef fest held at the campus, resulting in right wing students attacking an IIT research scholar Sooraj, who suffered injuries in the eye, while another student Manish Kumar Singh suffered a fracture in his right hand.
