On Wednesday, on the occasion of Mahashivratri, a controversy broke out at the South Asian University (SAU) in Delhi over serving vegetarian and non-vegetarian food together in the same mess.

He twisted his hand and dragged him by his hair. Mess employees attacked. He immediately called the police. Complaint has been lodged. There was a demand to make separate arrangements for fruits
