NSUI neta, supporters face FIR for vandalism on GACC campus
Bhanwarkuan police filed an FIR on Monday evening against NSUI leader Aman Patwari and his supporters for vandalising property and disrupting official work at the college. Videos of the incident were later shared by Patwari himself on social media. Footage shows him smashing the chamber doors' glass with an iron rod, breaking the lock, entering the principal's chamber, and scattering the weeds across the principal's office.
Bhanwarkuan police station in charge Rajkumar Yadav said, "On the basis of principal Mamta Raikwar's written complaint and the CCTV footage evidence, the accused have been booked under Sections 221 (obstructing a public servant in discharge of duty), 331(3) (causing damage to public property), 324(3) (mischief), and 3(5) (criminal act with common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita"
According to the FIR, the incident occurred around 10:30am.,
when Patwari and his supporters entered the administrative block without permission, carrying two iron rods and bundles of dry grass. They raised slogans against the administration and demanded entry into the principal's chamber. Despite faculty and staff trying to stop them, Patwari forced his way in.
In the video, Patwari, who is a former student of the college, claimed the act was retaliation against the college's alleged inaction in clearing weeds near the statues of Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Mahatma Gandhi on the college campus. The FIR also mentioned past disturbances by Patwari and his group. The college has sought strict legal action and police security to prevent further incidents.
"This incident is both alarming and deeply disturbing. Given the seriousness of their action, I promptly initiated the process for lodging an FIR," GACC principal Dr Mamta Raikwar told TOI.

‘Bengal same as Bangladesh': Kolkata father, son denied Noida hotel room; OYO drops property
An IT professional and his 14-year-old son from Newtown in West Bengal's Kolkata were allegedly refused a room by a hotel in Sector 44 of Noida and their booking was cancelled because they were Bengali, according to The Times of India report. The incident took place at Meera Eternity hotel on Tuesday. The boy, a skater, had travelled with his father to participate in a skating championship in Noida. According to the TOI report citing the IT professional, his booking, done via OYO for a two-night stay, was cancelled by the receptionist, who allegedly said the local police had asked hotels not to allow guests from Bangladesh, Punjab, or Jammu & Kashmir until 15 August due to security concerns. 'I told them we are from West Bengal, not Bangladesh. But the receptionist insisted it was the same thing and refused to accommodate us,' the father told TOI. The father said he made several calls to OYO before a customer care executive finally answered and assured him the amount would be refunded within 7–10 days. 'I had no choice but to check into another hotel in Sector 49, far from the arena,' he said, adding that he had originally booked the Sector 44 hotel for its proximity to the skating rink, where registrations were scheduled to begin early Wednesday. OYO has apologised for the incident and said the hotel, Meera Eternity, had been removed from its platform the same day. An internal inquiry has also been ordered, it added. 'OYO has neither received nor issued any directive to hotels to impose such restrictions. We do not endorse any form of discrimination,' OYO said in a statement to TOI. Noida DCP Yamuna Prasad told TOI there was no official instruction from Noida Police directing hotels to deny entry to people from Bengal or any other state. 'Hotels are told to check the ID and visa documents of people from Bangladesh, but there is no directive to disallow even Bangladeshi residents if they have proper papers,' Prasad said.
