A scuffle between two groups broke out in the university campus when a Dalit student was allegedly teased by a few other students for his caste affiliations.

Matters worsened when the first-year Dalit student and his brother, an ex-student of the university, went to the hostel to protest.

A couple of students were hurt, they were later taken to Safdarjung hospital for first-aid.
