Pune University Students Protest Protest Restrictions; FIR Filed Over Vice-Chancellor Car Obstruction
At Savitribai Phule Pune University, students protested against a circular restricting campus demonstrations to university-related issues, alleging it limits their freedom of expression. They blocked Vice-Chancellor Suresh Gosavi's car and accused police of assault during the confrontation. The university stated the circular aims to ensure security and will consider protest requests positively. Subsequently, the university filed an FIR against over 20 students for obstructing the Vice-Chancellor's vehicle, while some students allege selective, caste-based targeting in the FIR.
