The protest was withdrawn after the police assured action against the accused conductor. According to the students, Samad from Uppinangady, a first year B.Com student of the college  was assaulted by a conductor named Murugesh from Bagalkot who worked in the Uppinangady-State Bank KSRTC bus.

The students said  the conductor assaulted Samad just because he objected to the act of the conductor who signalled the driver to start the bus even before two girls could board the bus.

Many even alleged that there have been several earlier occasions when the  conductor abused students.

 The injured student  Samad who  was hospitalised following the attack later lodged a complaint with the Bunder police. On the other hand, the accused conductor too got admitted to Wenlock Hospital alleging that some students had assaulted him with blades.

Investigations are underway.
