The students charged the V-C with supporting corrupt elements of the varsity.
The students threatened to stop the admission process. Those present on the occasion were Om Prakash Dwivedi, Alok Dubey, Mohit Patel, Irshad Ullah, Devendra Rathore, Vikas Kesarwani, Suraj Kesari and Rohit Tiwari among others.
