KARACHI:
Six people sustained injuries when two student groups clashed on Monday at Karachi University.
Tension heated up yesterday when some members of the Punjabi Student Association tore off posters of the Peoples Student Federation, the student wing of Pakistan Peoples Party.
Today, the groups opened fire at each other in front of the Administration Block of the university in which four members of the PSF, including the group's president Muhammad Basharat, and two members of the PSA sustained injuries.
The classes have been suspended and the university gates have been sealed.
A heavy contingent of rangers and police has been deployed on the premises and interrogations are underway.
The police have started a baton charge on the officials of the two groups in order to control the situation.
Rangers have taken political activists from both the parties in custody and are likely to hand them to the Mobina Town police station after investigation.
