Rajasthan NSUI President Abhimanyu Puniya Attack on Jaipur

Jaipur: Rajasthan National Students Union of India (NSUI) president Abhimanyu Puniya and his associate Ranveer Singhania were injured late on Wednesday when a dozen unidentified men attacked them on the Rajasthan University campus, police said. Singhania is a candidate for the university polls due in the state on Aug 31. The two were rushed to SMS Hospital where Singhaniya got eight stitches in his head. Puniya was also treated for multiple injuries, hospital sources said. The two, however, returned to the university gate on Thursday and staged a dharna against the working of the university administration and the state government. Ranveer told media that the attack took place despite the presence of police force. “This shows it was a coordinated plan at the behest of the state government,” he alleged. (IANS)
