The university stated that a group of masked individuals gained access to the boys' hostels on campus in an apparent attempt to mobilize additional participants for the protests. Officials did not specify the exact timing of the alleged incidents or provide details about the extent of damage caused by the vandalism.
The allegations come amid a period of student activism at the university. Authorities have not yet released details about the specific grievances raised by protesters or whether any formal complaints have been registered with local law enforcement.
