Several students, including women, and two journalists were injured in a lathi-charge by police inside the university during a protest following a woman student's complaint that she was harassed.
While BHU Vice Chancellor Girish Chandra Tripathi said he had ordered an inquiry headed by a retired high court judge, state government spokesperson and minister Srikant Sharma maintained it was a magisterial probe. It was not clear whether there was one inquiry or two.
"I have ordered an inquiry into the incident. Retired Allahabad High Court judge B S Dixit will head the panel," Tripathi said. However, Sharma said, "The BHU authorities have ordered a magisterial inquiry into the incidents."
