Mysore, July 26- Tension prevailed for some time in the premises of St.
Philomena's College here on Wednesday, as two groups of students clashed
over eve-teasing.
A girl student who came out at 1.30 pm on Wednesday after attending
classes was teased by a student of another college leading to the clash
between the groups.
On learning about the eve-teasing, some youth armed with clubs, choppers
and cycle chains from nearby areas arrived on the scene.
An autorickshaw driver with his vehicle parked near a road-side shop
opposite the college, upon witnessing the clash, informed the Garuda
Police over phone. The groups fled on noticing the Garuda Police.
Later, another group came to the spot in cars and mobikes, looked around
the college and left as there was none.
The incident assumed abnormal proportions, as the youth involved in the
clash were reportedly associated with a political leader.
Although the clash led to tension, neither the college Principal nor any
faculty arrived on the scene.
Garuda Police were on beat in the vicinity of the college for some time
and withdrew from the scene after peace was restored.-BRS
