A clash between two groups in Ismail Yusuf College, Jogeshwari, has left two students in critical condition. Another boy, a friend of these two who is not a student of the college, was also injured. The police have filed cross FIRs in the matter, but failed to add attempt to murder, section (307) under the Indian Penal Code in the FIR against the other group, alleged relatives of the two boys.

Sources told mid-day that the two students, Faraz Shaikh, 17, and Abdul Rehman, 17, were sitting with their friends on October 16 after classes. "Two other boys, holding a blue tooth speaker device playing loud music, passed them. This infuriated Shaikh and Rehman, and the duo asked the group of boys to stop playing the loud music. This led to a heated argument which later snowballed into a fierce fight injuring them badly. All the boys are students of Ismail Yusuf College except for one, Fahim Shaikh, who had come to the campus for some work," said Mahendra Nerlekar, senior inspector of Jogeshwari police station.
