CHANDIGARH: Yet another incident of violence took place on Panjab University campus on Wednesday, but the only difference this time was that the attack was not on a student, but on a non-teaching employee.

Two youths from the law department, Vikramjit Singh and Bhupinder Singh, allegedly attacked Anil Kumar, technical officer at the computer science department around 11.30 am. This happened after the technician reportedly refused to entertain their request for registration of wi-fi system in their hostel.

The students not only slapped and kicked him, but also broke the glass-doors in the department. Bhupinder Singh, accused's friend, who had reached the department for help, received injuries on his wrist after reportedly fell on the broken glasses. He was taken to GMSH-16, from where he was referred to the PGI where a minor surgery was conducted on him.

Anil said he asked the students to come after the lunch break, but they kept on insisting that it should be done right then and on his refusal Vikramjit attacked him.

However, Vikramjit claimed that besides refusing to register his name for getting the wi-fi facility in the hostel, Anil also misbehaved with them. "He abused and shoved me and only after that the trouble started," he added.

PU police post in-charge Uday Pal said they have recorded statements of both Anil and Vikramjit and they were arrested under the provisions of sections 107/150 of the IPC and later released.

PU VC RC Sobti held a meeting with DSW Naval Kishore, chief security officer, chairperson of the department Dharam Pal Sharma and president of Non-teaching Employees' Union. It is learnt that it was resolved that an official complaint would be filed by the PU against the students involved in the incident. A departmental inquiry has also been marked.
