Majority of the faculties of MSU here remained closed on Wednesday, the third day of the NSUI's agitation against the V-C's allegedly partisan declaration of the students' union election results. The student body's protest took an unfortunate turn when a third-year BCom student's leg was fractured after being hit by the V-C's car during his gherao.  

NSUI supporters tried to meet the V-C to present their case, but without success. However, the V-C, Ramesh Goyal, said that he had offered to meet a three-member NSUI team to hear their case, but the agitating students didn't accept his proposal.

The agitating students gathered at the university's main office in the morning and started shouting slogans against the vice-chancellor. They were carrying posters depicting the V-C as a puppet of the ABVP.

When the V-C reached his office, the protesters tried to meet him, but in vain. The enraged students then went to the back of the office, climbed the windows and tried to present their case. When they failed in their attempt, they started raising slogans again. Later, when the V-C came out of his office, the NSUI activists, especially girls, sat near his car. As the agitators tried to gherao him, police officials intervened and escorted him to his car.

Soon after, police officials tried to remove the girl students to make way for the V-C's car. In the ruckus that followed, the  driver started the car and tried to go past the girls. In the process, the car hit a girl student, Aparna Jadhav (21).

She was immediately taken to the SSG Hospital, where doctors detected a minor hairline crack in her right leg and plastered it. Aparna told DNA that she had lodged an official complaint at the Sayajigunj police station regarding the intentional
accident. "It was the V-C who guided the driver and I was injured."
