Osmania University police detained several English and Foreign Languages University students in connection with a protest over a campus event featuring Telangana RSS leader Lingam Sridhar on September 30. Siasat and South First independently reported the detentions. Siasat said the students were released that evening.
South First identified the event organiser as the Bhagat Singh Youth Club. Student organisations had opposed the programme and questioned access to campus venues. They alleged that university administrators directed the police action and that no reason was given for detaining students. These are student-group allegations; the reviewed material did not independently establish who requested the action.
Siasat reported that its repeated calls to police went unanswered. No police explanation, university statement or organiser response appeared in the material reviewed. The reports did not establish criminal charges or a court ruling on the legality of the detentions. Siasat’s report of evening release is the latest custody status established by these sources.
