16 students arrested over 'beef festival' plan at Hyderabad university...

Sixteen students of Hyderabad's Osmania University were arrested this morning over their plan to have a beef festival on campus in defiance of a court ban.

A lawmaker, Raja Singh, was also placed under house arrest as the authorities tried to ward against communal trouble. Mr Singh, who represents the Goshamahal area, had pledged to celebrate "Gau Seva Diwas" or cow protection day to counter the beef festival.

The BJP lawmaker has also planned a protest rally.

Heavy restrictions are in place in the university today with policemen swarming the campus. Barricades have been put up and movement has been restricted.

 A group of students had also announced that they would organize a "pork festival" today. Full story...
