Confirming the incident, the Vice-Chancellor of the university, Dr R P P Singh told PTI that the incident was "pre-planned" and executed by outsiders.

It was simply a handiwork of outside force with support of some inmates of a nearby hostel over which the university authority did not have any control, he said.
