The argument was settled by the University Dean at that point of time but the students from Bihar attacked the Kashmiri students at night inside the college mess.

Ram Bishnoi was removed when the students complained the SHO failed to address their issues and even failed to file an FIR. Later the four accused were arrested and an FIR was registered against them.
