Students of an engineering college here today went on a strike demanding action against the principal and some faculty members after one of the student committed suicide due to alleged repeated mistreatment by the institution authorities, police said.
The agitating students refused to budge even when District Magistrate Hem Singh told them that a case has been registered and police was probing the matter, they said.
Singh also told them that on the issue of alleged mistreatment by the college authorities and teaching staff to the student, a probe by District Education Inspector has been ordered by the District Magistrate Rajesh Kumar.
The DEI will submit its report by tomorrow, but despite this students refused to relent, police said.
