HYDERABAD: Students of Osmania Univesity Post Graduate Girls Hostel staged a protest at the premises of the University over a security breach as some miscreants were found breaking into their hostel. Students were seen raising slogans of "We want justice" as they sat in front of their hostel while police personnel were seen persuading them to leave the spot.

"We are just asking for VC to come. Why is he not coming?" shouted out one of the students while another said, "We are just trying to pressurize the VC to come."

The students said that three people had broken into the hostel and they had apprehended one of them. Although the police tried to persuade the protesting students, they were not ready to disperse.

The students briefed the police about their demands who in turn inspected the campus and found out some security lapses in the hostel which was conveyed to the Registrar.

One of the student protesters said that they had been hearing some uncanny sounds since the time they returned to the hostel after the Sankranti Holidays.

"After we came back from the Sankranti Holidays. we are hearing different sounds in different rooms. But we thought it might be our mistake. One of the hostelites saw hands coming out of the ventilator of their washroom on the first and the ground floor. We have seen three people involved in the incident but only one of them has been nabbed. Yesterday, the incident happened on two of the floors, the ground floor as well as first floor at the same time. We have ventilators in our washrooms. The washrooms have little space. She (one of the students) locked herself in the washroom. But she saw hands coming out of the ventilator. She panicked and ran. The same incident took place on the ground floor. We approached our seniors. We were searching for them. We saw three of them, only one was caught by us. We are demanding the rest who were there to be nabbed," the student said.

Demanding the Vice-Chancellor (VC) to come to the spot and address their issues, she said, "We have been sitting here since 12:30..We want the VC to come and address our problem and we want a solution for all our issues. Security is important. We want proper security where we are staying."
