Police said that both the cases are under investigation.
Meanwhile, in another incident today in the same campus, some students of the college along with other outsiders allegedly went on a rampage inside the college, police said, adding, adequate force has been posted at the college and the situation is now under control.
Meanwhile, the college's registrar Bhagwan Singh claimed that "heavy damage" has been inflicted on the college building.
He further claimed that yesterday "over 200 students were prohibited from sitting for the home examinations as their attendance was less as per the rules and so they created the ruckus".
