Fans of Pawan Kalyan and Jr NTR clashed in the hostel during the Gabbar Singh's audio release.
They were stopped by the warden
One Town police registered a case against 25 students of NRI college, Gollapudi, for allegedly detaining the hostel warden in his room and threatening to kill him.
According to One Town police, the students had been nursing a grudge against the hostel warden, Kodali Gangadhar, because he had prevented them from misbehaving during the audio release functions held on the college premises. The students, fans of Pawan Kalyan and Junior NTR, clashed in the hostel on Saturday night during
the audio release of Pawan Kalyan's film Gabbar Singh. Fans of Pawan Kalyan were celebrating the occasion when events took an ugly turn. Hostel warden Gangadhar tried to stop them, which enraged the students, and they decided to take the law into their hands. The two warring groups -one group being fans of Junior NTR and other being fans of Pawan Kalyan -buried the hatchet and joined hands to take revenge on Gangadhar who had complained to the college management about the students on an earlier occasion. On Saturday, night the students attacked Gangadhar’s room. Shocked by the attack, the warden called the police control room and sought immediate help. Meanwhile, the angry mob of students burned some papers and threw it into the warden’s room.
The police reached the college before any untoward incident could happen and rescued the warden and took 25 students into custody. The students were produced before the magistrate on Sunday. They were released after they obtained bail.
The students are all believed to be minors.
