Heavy police personnel deployed at Banaras Hindu University where students were holding a protest in Varanasi, late Saturday night.

Agencies Varanasi | New Delhi
Several officials are in the dock after the violence at the Benaras Hindu University (BHU) on Saturday night as Uttar Pradesh (UP) Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has asked for a report from the Varanasi Police Commissioner regarding the incident.

The agitation by woman students against a sexual harassment incident turned violent at the BHU campus in Varanasi on Saturday night when they took their protest to the vice-chancellor's (VC's) office and started shouting slogans. They were also joined by men from other hostels.

In the ensuing police action, students and several reporters became victims of a baton-charge led by 1,500-strong police force.
