Food Row Turns Violent: NSUI Workers Clash With Hyderabad Nursing College Management
Police register a case after NSUI workers allegedly vandalize Care Nursing College in Hyderabad over food quality complaints.
A dispute over the quality of food served to students escalated into violence and vandalism at the Care Nursing College in Mansoorabad, Hyderabad. The Hyderabad Police have registered a formal case after a clash between workers of the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) and the college administration.
The Spark: Allegations of Poor Food
The confrontation reportedly began when NSUI workers approached the college management following complaints from students regarding inadequate food being provided on campus. What started as an attempt to question the administration quickly spiraled into a heated argument, leading to a physical scuffle involving the college Principal.
Two Days of Chaos and Vandalism
According to the complaint lodged by the college Principal, D Sunitha (46), the unrest unfolded over two consecutive days:
- October 13: A group of NSUI workers allegedly trespassed into the college premises. The Principal claims the group assaulted students and female staff members, leaving the campus in a state of fear.
- October 14: The situation worsened around 10:30 am when the same group, accompanied by others, allegedly stormed the campus again. This second intrusion turned violent as the group targeted the computer lab, the library, and the administrative office.
Violence in the Library and Labs
The complaint details a scene of panic where the accused allegedly damaged furniture and other equipment. When staff members tried to intervene, they were reportedly met with verbal abuse and physical aggression. The group allegedly shouted slogans of “Jai NSUI” while pushing administrative staff aside.
In a particularly alarming incident, the workers allegedly threw damaged chairs and flower pots toward students who were studying in the library, causing widespread panic among the student body.
Evidence and Legal Action
The college management managed to capture the incidents of vandalism and aggression on a mobile phone, which serves as evidence for the ongoing investigation. Following the Principal's formal complaint, the LB Nagar Police have taken strict action.
A case has been registered under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including:
- Section 329(4)

- Section 74
- Section 79
