Hyderabad, December 17: The DSC-2008 selected candidates on Thursday made a vain attempt to storm the Assembly. The protestors were stopped by the alert police personnel when they tried to barge into the Assembly premises by scaling the barricades.
Enraged over police action, some 20 candidates doused themselves with kerosene and attempted to immolate. The protestors were demanding recruitment as per the common merit list. They were taken into custody and whisked away to the nearest police station.
However, in the afternoon, they marched to the office of the School Education Directorate and staged a dharna before the main entrance gate. The police dispersed them by resorting to a lathi-charge
