SRFTI rusticated six students for allegedly assaulting the vice-chancellor and staff members, carrying out vandalism at the VC's office, writing obscene graffiti, and violating campus discipline.
The student agitation entered its 18th day following protests against the administration's installation of CCTV cameras on the administrative building's first floor without giving prior notice or involving the union, which violated a previous agreement.
The SRFTI Students’ Union spokesperson claimed that five of them were unfairly sent rustication emails and stated that they are currently taking legal action.
