Professor attacked in class

By Our Staff Reporter

BANGALORE, FEB. 15. A group of youths claiming to belong to the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) allegedly attacked V.S. Sridhar, a professor at Vijaya College in Jayanagar in the Siddapura Police Station limits on Tuesday.

The police said Prof. Sridhar was taking class when he received an SMS on his cellphone saying he would be attacked for supporting naxalite activities in the State.

Within a few minutes, the group of youths, said to be students of Vijaya Law College located on the same campus, entered the class and asked Prof. Sridhar to stop the class. They reportedly told him that they were there to protest against his alleged support to naxalites.

When he told them that they could protest only outside the college premises, they allegedly attacked him with slippers. When a few girls attending his class tried to rescue him the attackers pushed and pulled them around. They then fled the scene.
