On Thursday, the two groups who involved in the fight had a meeting with the college authorities and the police in the college campus. "I told the principal that something needed to be done about the fight between different groups. But no one paid heed to what I said. They levelled allegations against me and told me to leave the meeting. I have been getting threats from students who attacked me since then," said Pandey.

Principal Dr. Rajendra Prasad denied the allegations. He said that Pandey had misbehaved with him in front of everyone and was asked to leave by faculty members.

"There was a meeting between students, police and faculty members. They had all come to discuss the incident involving two groups. He abused me in front of everyone. He has been misbehaving with the teachers and students here," he said.
