Banaras Hindu University (BHU) vice chancellor Girish Chandra Tripathi gave statement in favor of police and said that police didn't attack or injure any girl on campus.Several girls and policeman were injured after university guards and policemen cane-charged protesters at the Banaras Hindu University.

Defending the police in a press statement issued late on Monday, Tripathi said: “There was no baton-charge on any girl on the varsity premises during the intervening night of September 23 and 24. Action has been taken against criminal and anti-social elements who (vandalised) varsity property.”



“They tried to create anarchy at the VC residence by pelting it with stones. In the garb of conducting a dharna near the BHU main gate, some anti-social elements tried to paint the statue of Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya black,” he said, adding that such an attempt is “nothing less than sedition”
