Several students of Peshawar University were injured on Thursday when police resorted to baton charge in order to end their protest.

The students were demonstrating against a hike in the university fee. A scuffle broke out when the police were called by the administration. The injured students were taken to a nearby hospital.

The administration is of the view that since the fee was increased after two years, it should not be a problem for the students.

Reports of students attacked with assault rifles by the KP police, 17 students are critical and in emergency, 22 have broken skulls, 17 have legs broken, some kidnapped. This is by Naya Pakistan govt to the youth. IK’s own children sturdy in Washington and London #shame pic.twitter.com/E6EylJH93W
