DAVV Students Protest for Union Elections, Gate Damaged; FIR Filed Against 10
Students at Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) in Indore protested demanding direct Student Union elections following a High Court directive. The demonstration escalated when students broke the university's main gate and entered the Vice Chancellor's office, leading to property damage and police registering an FIR against 10 students, including leader Virendra Singh Gurjar. Vice Chancellor Rakesh Singhai met student representatives and reportedly assured elections would be held in September, though no formal announcement has been made. Police are investigating related allegations involving a vehicle on campus.
