Police also resorted to a lathi-charge after the demonstrators attempted to move forward.Several protesters claimed they were injured, including female students.

He resigned from the post on July 22, saying he had voluntarily stepped down to facilitate an impartial investigation.The former JPSC chief had been questioned four times since July 28.
