Whatever happened on Thursday evening, he put the entire college in panic
At around 5 in the evening, the student of Veterinary College Mayank reached the college ground to play cricket with his friends. But there were already some outside boys playing there. When Mayank and his friends asked him to withdraw, saying that this is the ground of the college, the matter increased. First there was a debate, then abusing and seeing the matter reached the scuffle.
Then one of the external boys called his friends and called. Shortly more boys arrived and one of them took out arms from the waist and fired directly. The bullet hit Mayank’s hand. There was a stampede on the spot. Friends immediately rushed to the hospital by shouting and blood-soaked Mayank. He was admitted to IGIMS and currently his condition is out of danger.
Accused absconding after firing
Soon after the incident, the accused escaped from the spot. Hearing the sound of firing, there was chaos in the entire area. Local people lurked in the houses due to fear and an atmosphere of fear spread among the students. As soon as the police received information, the team of the airport police station reached the spot but by then it was too late. No clue of the accused could be found. The Thanedar says the investigation is going on and some suspects are being identified.
This was not the first time
After the incident, the anger of the students got even more angry because this was not the first time that there was such a dispute with external boys. A student said that even before this, there have been many quarrels about playing in the field. Many times he gave a written complaint to the college administration, but no security personnel were deployed, nor strict action. The students allege that if the college administration had already taken the matter seriously, then Mayank would not have been in the hospital today. Now students are openly cursing the failure of the administration and there is an atmosphere of resentment in the entire college.
Students sat on hunger strike and dharna on Friday

Police officers are trying to convince the students, but the students are not ready to back down without the arrest of the culprits. There has been no official statement from the administration at present, but it is being said to speed up the investigation inside.
Are students not safe now in Patna?
An educational institution, where students should get knowledge, safety and confidence, if the bullets are running and the administration is sitting blind, then it is a big question mark on the entire system. Will the students of Patna now have to put their lives on their palm and get into the field? Are the temples of education now becoming the battlefield of criminals? This firing in Patna not only injured a student, but also shattered the trust of the entire student community. If there is no early action, then this resentment can take even more terrible form.
