Rahul Gandhi Pune Visit: Just before Rahul Gandhi's Pune visit, a clash broke out between ABVP and NSUI workers in the COEP hostel premises. After the incident, Pune Police registered an FIR against 50 to 60 Youth Congress workers on the complaint of an ABVP member. Heavy police force has been deployed in the hostel. ABVP alleged that Congress workers were pressurizing girl students to register for the 'Chhatraon Ki Goonj' program. Congress leaders presented the allegations in a different way and said that ABVP workers were trying to intimidate the girl students. Police are investigating the allegations from both sides.
