A police officer stationed at Nitor, requesting anonymity, told The Business Standard that the clash stemmed from an incident last night when an outsourced staff member was allegedly beaten by injured students. "In protest, the staff began a work stoppage today, which led to the confrontation."
Both groups engaged in chase and counter chase armed with rods and sticks in front of the administrative building and outdoor department, the official added.
