Police used force to disperse and round up a group of about 40 FTII students protesting against TV actor and BJP member Gajendra Chauhan, who is expected to take charge as the institute’s Chairman on Thursday.
Notwithstanding a warning issued by the police on Wednesday to maintain peace on the eve of the first meeting of the new FTII Society, headed by Chauhan, members of FTII Students Association (FSA) staged a protest demonstration at the institute’s gate shouting, “Gajendra Chauhan go back”, leading to a scuffle between the students and police.
