Overview
- The institute shut the campus until March 8 following large demonstrations over the death of 22-year-old BCA student Prakhar Singh.
- Officials said Singh suffered critical injuries after his motorcycle collided with a JCB engaged in construction work and he later died during treatment.
- Police deployed units from nearby stations and Provincial Armed Constabulary to the campus, reported brief scuffles, and said normalcy was restored.
- The use of force is disputed, with the DCP denying any baton charge and saying only mild force was used despite separate reports alleging a lathicharge.
- Students accuse the administration of poor safety around construction, while the college says the crash occurred outside the premises, and authorities say some demands on attendance and scheduling were accepted as the investigation proceeds.
