Three men from Delhi try to enter NIT, detained 4/11/2016 11:54:55 PM Early Times Report srinagar, Apr 11: Police today thwarted a bid by three men from Delhi to enter the NIT here for hoisting the national flag at the campus which has been witnessing clashes and tension since April one. The three were part of a group of about 150 people from Delhi who were intending to go to NIT and had avoided their detention in Jammu yesterday when all others were stopped from proceeding ahead. The trio were detained just outside the main gate of the institute as they pulled out the national flag and tried to enter the campus, a police official said. He said one of the detained person has been identified as Tejinder Singh Bagga. "We have come from Delhi to hand over the tricolour to the students (for hoisting) but police has snatched the flags from us," Bagga told reporters before he was taken into custody. He said over 150 activists had started from Delhi to march to the NIT but most of them were detained in Jammu. "Only three of us made it to Srinagar," he added. Before being whisked away in a police vehicle, Bagga was confronted by some local residents who accused him of trying to vitiate the atmosphere in the NIT campus. "Why have you come here? The students -- local or outstation -- all our children. They are our responsibility and we know how to take care of them. You need not come from so far away," a middle-aged man told Bagga. The NIT has been tense ever since it saw clashes between local and outstation students on April 1 following Indias defeat to West Indies in the World T20 Cup. The situation worsened on April 5 when outstation students tried to take out a march outside the campus but were stopped by the police, leading to incidents of violence including vandalism by students and lathicharge by police. A magisterial inquiry has been ordered into the incidents by the state government.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
