Quotes
Subhash Singh
ICCR Gujarat sub zonal officer
“We haven’t received the FIR copy, but we are in touch with the police and universities concerned. So far, we have been informed that around six students are under the ICCR fellowship. Certainly, disciplinary action against these six will be taken once the institutes reopen on Monday after Diwali vacations.”
