Teasing of girl leads to APMSO-PSF clash

Activists from two rival students’ groups, the All-Pakistan Muttahida Student Organisation (APMSO) and the Peoples Student Federation (PSF) clashed Monday morning near the Geology department at the University of Karachi (KU). Seven activists were injured before security within the campus at all entry points was tightened and a heavy contingency of Rangers personnel was deployed to bring the situation under control.

The injured activists were shifted to a hospital after being handed over to officials from the Mobina Town police station. SHO Mobina Town, sub-inspector Shoaib Qureshi, said that students from the Geology department had gone for a picnic on Sunday where a PSF activist, Bisharat, had allegedly teased and harassed a girl. An APMSO activist, Muneeb, reportedly tried to stop him.

On Monday, Bisharat brought in other PSF activists and started beating up Muneeb. Meanwhile, activists belonging to the APMSO also rushed into the fray. A clash ensued, and Bisharat, Sohail, Masood and Imran from the PSF were injured, as were Feroz, Asif and Aslam from the APMSO. An FIR was lodged at the Mobina Town police station.
