The Maharashtra Police on Wednesday booked seven students of the Film Television Institute of India in Pune for displaying a poster about the 1992 Babri mosque demolition on campus.
This came a day after a Hindutva mob barged into the campus, shouted slogans and set ablaze the banner, which said “Remember Babri, Death of Constitution”.
The men also allegedly attacked student union President Mankap Nokwoham, General Secretary Sayantan Chakrabarty and two others, including a female student, who had to be hospitalised.
However, a first information report was registered against the students at the Deccan Gymkhana Police Station on the basis of a complaint by Hindutva group Samast Hindu Bandhav Samajik Sanstha….
