Chandigarh: The UT police have prepared a list of student leaders booked in various criminal cases during the previous student body polls. The report mentions the list of student leaders and incidents, revealing how they could create a law-and-order problem during this year's polls too.
The report states in the past, prominent student leaders had been booked in as many as 27 criminal cases, including opening fire, endangering life, attempt to murder, rioting and assault, and that they come into the violence mode at the time of polls every year.
Compiling the data of such cases between 2008 and 2014, the report clearly states how the crime graph suddenly increased during the poll time with student organisations indulging in violence to win over students' confidence.
All eight student bodies - Panjab University Student Union (PUSU), Students Organisation of Panjab University (SOPU), Hindustan Student Association (HSA), Akhil Bharatriya Vidyarthi Parished (ABVP), Indian National Student Organisation (INSO), National Student Union of India (NSUI), Student Organisation of India (SOI) and Student Federation of India (SFI) - hired goons to create a sense of fear among students, says the report.
