When these students went to the Pariksha Bhavan to get their problem solved they were abused and assaulted by clerks and employees of Nagpur University. The students protested against the clerks outside the Pariksha Bhavan and also informed the police.
According to the students they were given the English subject question paper of new course while the Commerce faculty clerk had informed them the old and new course English papers would be different. The clerk on questioning flatly denied that he had told them any such things. The clerk refused to listen to the students and started abusing them.
