Four students were injured following a protest that erupted at the Central University of Kerala during a seminar centred on Vande Mataram. The demonstration, which involved a confrontation with authorities, saw students alleging police assault and torn clothing as efforts were made to control the crowd.

The protest was reportedly sparked by the presence of a leader from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) at the Vande Mataram event. Students voiced their opposition to the leader's participation, leading to a tense situation on campus.

According to accounts from the students involved, the injuries occurred as police intervened to manage the protesters. They claimed that officers used force, resulting in physical harm and damage to their attire during the confrontation. The incident underscores growing tensions on university campuses in the region.

The Vande Mataram seminar was being held at the Central University of Kerala when the protest commenced, drawing attention to the differing perspectives and sensitivities surrounding such events and the involvement of political or ideological figures. The university administration has yet to issue a detailed statement regarding the allegations made by the students or the circumstances that led to the injuries.
