In a late night development, massive clashes erupted at West Bengal's Burdwan University.
The students who were on a hunger strike demanding postpone of third year exam were attacked and brutally beaten up last night inside the campus of the varsity.
"Our friends are admitted in the hospital. When asked, the outsiders said we are 'people' of the TMC and they have called us here," said one of the students.
