Four students of Darul Uloom seminary, on 31 August, were beaten up by some hooligans in Ambala-Delhi passenger. As per reports, M Kaiser, Saifullah, M Sajid and Badruddin were on way to the national capital from Deoband, Uttar Pradesh when some persons approached them and started beating them. The incident triggered communal tension in the area. The GRP arrested three accused and handed them over to the local police. The rector of the seminary, Maulana Abul Qasmi said a similar incident was reported two days earlier and despite the request of Darul Uloom to railway authorities and senior police officers for protection of students in trains, no action has been taken in this regard. Following the incidence, the locals blocked the Delhi-Dehradun highway demanding safety of the students and an enquiry into the incident.
