Two persons were killed in a gun battle between rival groups on the campus of Aligarh Muslim University, forcing authorities to deploy Rapid Action Force and order a “major clean-up” operation in AMU hostels. The violence left an expelled student dead last midnight while another youth, who was injured in the clash, succumbed to injuries in hospital on Sunday, AMU spokesman Rahat Abrar said.
Rapid Action Force (RAF) was deployed at all sensitive spots, especially in view of the entrance test for the engineering college scheduled for today with over 13,000 candidates appearing from AMU campus centre alone. The entrance test, however, passed off peacefully amid strong security measures though an uneasy calm prevailed on the campus, District Magistrate Balkar Singh said.
