The college administration is also investigating the reasons behind this violence separately. On Tuesday around 12.45pm, two groups clashed over some issue and hurled two bombs on the college campus, as students appeared for Certified Internal Auditor exam.

"This appears to be a continuation of a dispute between two student groups. A few days ago, a similar altercation had been pacified by police's intervention. Unfortunately, the situation escalated today due to the failure of the college administration to monitor student activities and prevent dangerous materials from being brought onto campus," the SHO principal Rajkishore Prasad expressed concern over the repeated disturbances on the campus. "The blasts occurred at 12.45pm and 12.48pm. A student was injured. It is troubling that some students entered the examination hall without valid ID cards.
