In fact, the security forces stopped the march on JP Golambar by placing barricades, due to which there was tension in the city for hours. During this time, the students were asked to return peacefully. When the protesters tried to cross the barricades, the police initially fired water cannon and tear gas shells. When the mob continued to advance, lathicharge was used to disperse the protesters.

During this time the students became more aggressive. The students also started pelting stones in self-defence. Some policemen were injured in this. Some protesters have also been injured. However, despite the police action, thousands of students remained standing at the protest site and kept raising slogans.
