Srinagar: At least, eight Kashmiri students were injured, one of them critically, after some fellow students and local goons allegedly attacked them at Global Research Institution of Management and Technology in Nachroon district of Haryana on Saturday.

All the injured students are returning home after treatment. Their parents alleged that a local sarpanch was also involved in the attack and that the Haryana police was delaying filing of FIR.

The students alleged that some of their college mates attacked them after refusing to collect lunch out of turn in the canteen.
