J&K student thrashed in Nagpur; students association seeks Fadnavis' intervention
A student from Jammu and Kashmir studying at a pharmacy college in Nagpur was thrashed by a group of local residents, police said on Tuesday (April 29, 2025) A motive was not yet clear, they said. The incident took place on Sunday (April 27, 2025) evening in the Kamptee area of the Maharashtra city, but no complaint has been received so far from the victim, said a senior police official. Explaining the sequence of events, he said two first-year Bachelor of Pharmacy students, hailing from Doda town and Jammu, were returning to their hostel when one of them went to answer nature's call, while the other stood on the roadside waiting for him. At the same time, a group of local residents came to the spot and started questioning the student standing on the roadside and sought to know from where he had come. As he was unable to answer their questions, the residents started thrashing him, said the official.
