Cuttack: Tension prevailed at Banki Autonomous College today when a fight broke out between two groups of students at the college premises.

Sources said a heated contention was traded between the two groups of students for some obscure reasons. The circumstance later turned fierce and left control when the two groups attacked each other. Coming about this, more than seven students from both the groups sustained injuries and were later admitted to medical for treatment.

Meanwhile, some angry students of the groups staged road blockage in front of the college by burning tyres. Though the reason of the group clash is yet to be ascertained, it is suspected that it is the recurrence of a group clash that had occurred between two student groups in the college a year back. The college authorities had declared sine die for a few days.
