HYDERABAD:
After threats by students who were expelled at the University of Sindh, heavy contingents of police and Rangers were deployed on campus on Thursday.
The university administration had lodged cases against 21 students, including 18 girls, on charges of ransacking the university and threatening the administrators.
On Wednesday night, students from the hostel held a demonstration outside the main gate after which the police and Rangers personnel rushed in to disperse them.
Seven students were taken into custody for not having hostel cards on them. However, the leader of the Jeay Sindh Tehreek, Hamza Ali Chandio, told journalists that students were holding a peaceful demonstration but the arrests of five students, Allah Bux, Mudassir Abro, Fahim Kolachi, Usman Malik and Arslan Magsi, was unjust.
