ABVP members allegedly thrash Vice-Chancellor, Registrar, Police at University in UP's Gorakhpur
Gorakhpur: On Friday evening, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) activists allegedly attacked the vice-chancellor and the registrar of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gorakhpur University over alleged irregularities within the university. The incident occurred in Gorakhpur, the home turf of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Members of the ABVP, a student organization affiliated with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), vandalized the vice-chancellor's chamber and assaulted police personnel who attempted to control the mob. Vice-Chancellor Rajesh Singh, officiating Registrar Ajay Singh, several ABVP members, and police officers sustained injuries during the clash.
The unrest was triggered by university officials' refusal to meet with protesters addressing unresolved issues despite prior assurances from the vice-chancellor. Dean Satyapal Singh had earlier suspended four ABVP members for creating disturbances, further escalating tensions. When ABVP activists reached the vice-chancellor's chamber on Friday, they attacked him and vandalized his office.
The Indian Express reported that the situation deteriorated when police failed to calm the protesters, resulting in a decision to escort university officials to safety. However, the miscreants manhandled and injured the officiating registrar, Ajay Singh, hitting him with a blunt object on his head.
Ten ABVP members have been detained following the incident.

Bank account in Ramgarh tracked for fraudulent fund transactions across 24 states, 4 arrested
Ramgarh (Jharkhand) (PTI): Jharkhand police on Thursday said it has unearthed a network of interstate cyber frauds and arrested four miscreants for fraudulent transactions through a bank account in Ramgarh district after complaints of 274 suspected transactions in 24 states.
The states where complaints for fraudulent transactions were registered included Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh.
The action followed inputs received through 'Samanvaya portal', a centralised, web-based platform launched by the Union Home Ministry to curb cybercrime.
"We arrested four cyber miscreants after a current account with Kuju (Ramgarh) branch of the State Bank of India was found to have registered suspected financial transactions in 24 states with the help of the Pratibimba portal of the Home Ministry through the Samanvaya portal," Ramgarh Superintendent of Police Mukesh Kumar Lunayat said.
During the probe, police found that the account was opened under the MSME Udyam Registration scheme in the name of Shree Ganesh Enterprises, he said.
The account had been linked to as many as 274 complaints from different states related to cyber fraud and illegal fund transfers.
The registered proprietors of the enterprise were identified as Rahul Gupta (37), Ravi Kumar Verma (34), and Ajay Sharma (33), all residents of Ramgarh district, a statement from the Ramgarh police said.
During interrogation, Rahul Gupta and Ravi Kumar Verma revealed that they had opened multiple current accounts at the behest of Ritesh Agrawal alias Munna (40) and Sonu Kumar Jha (34).
They admitted receiving Rs 1.2 lakh in exchange for facilitating the opening of these accounts.
"The accused further confessed to sharing OTPs, activating mobile banking services, and handing over control of the accounts to the main operators through WhatsApp and Telegram groups. These accounts were then allegedly used to route fraudulent transactions.
Police said mobile data analysis of the accused led to the recovery of crucial digital evidence, including details of SIM cards, bank accounts, passbooks, ATM cards, QR code scanners, Aadhaar cards, and PAN cards shared through messaging platforms.
A total of four accused have been arrested so far and sent to judicial custody.
A case has been registered at the Cyber Crime Police Station under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023 and Sections 66C and 66D of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
Further investigation is underway, the police said.
