Three persons were injured when the students affiliated to Nepal Students Union (NSU), student wing of ruling Nepali Congress, clashed at Mahendra Morang Adharsha Multiple Campus in Biratnagar on Thursday.
NSU central member Puja Bishwas, Morang District President Saroj Pokharel and Secretary Guddu Sah were injured in the clash.
Students supporting the establishment faction led by Sher Bahadur Deuba and the rival faction led by Shekhar Koirala clashed at around 10 am today.
All the injured are from the rival faction led by Koirala. The health condition of Bishwash and Sah is normal.
Pokharel, however, has been taken to the Biratnagar-based Noble Teaching Hospital after he felt uncomfortable, central member Bishwash said.
According to her, a group led by Jaswant Paudel, President of Free Students Union of Mahendra Morang Campus, attacked them.
In the video released after the incident, Pokharel and others are seen being attacked.
“First of all, they threw punches on us and later attacked with an axe,” Bishwash said, adding, “Some problems were seen in the health of the district president. We two are in normal condition.”
The district president and the secretary were attacked when they had come to the campus to inquire about the situation ahead of the FSU election, she said.
