They resolved the situation before it turned into a major fight.”
Police said members of the CFI did not inform local police about their protest. While the CFI members were protesting against the alleged killing of two youths in Jharkhand, the SJM was protesting the sloganeering in Jawaharlal Nehru University, said sources.
