SFI activists and supporters take out a protest march toward the University of Kerala headquarters, and the event turns violent. Multiple outlets report clashes during the march, with reports that several activists are injured.
The Hindu specifically reports that SFI activists are injured in a police lathicharge. Times of India describes the march turning violent as it proceeds to the university, without detailing the specific action by police. Both accounts place the unrest around the protest’s movement to the University of Kerala, suggesting tensions escalate during the attempt to reach the campus.
While the reports broadly agree on the protest’s location and the escalation into violence, they differ in emphasis: one focuses on injuries tied to the police use of lathis, and the other highlights the overall shift from protest activity to violence. Details on the number of injured, whether any injuries involve police, and the immediate cause of the confrontation are not fully specified across the provided excerpts.
