Hyderabad, November 18: Tension prevailed at the Osmania University here tonight as pro-Telangana students went berserk, throwing stones at shops and private properties in localities close to the varsity campus.
The students took out a rally from OU campus to Tarnaka, second time during the day, in protest against the Andhra Pradesh Government’s decision to go ahead with the written test for recruitment of police Sub-Inspectors (SI).
While taking out the rally towards Tarnaka, the agitators pelted stones at policemen, shops, state-owned RTC buses and private vehicles, police said.
At least 10 Road Transport Corporation buses were damaged in the stone pelting. Security personnel lobbed tear gas shells to disperse the angry crowd near Big Bazar shopping mall at Tarnaka, they said.
