The image of an institution initiated by the architect of India’s constitution took a hit yesterday, when chaos took over outside Siddharth College of Commerce and Economics at Anand Bhavan, Fort. A mob of about 400 protesters — allegedly led by Prakash Ambedkar, leader of Bharipa Bahujan Mahasangh (BBM) and grandson of Dr BR Ambedkar — started hurling stones and soda bottles at the building, college authorities said. Police present at the scene prevented the angry demonstrators from entering the college campus. Around 25 policemen and 11 protesters suffered minor injuries. Cops arrested 35 men and 15 women, who were part of the mob.
