The students are said to be supporters of Pranananda Swamy who was posted as principal in place Animishananda Swamy who was the incumbent for 11 years.
However, alleging reluctance by Animishananda to vacate his position a group of 50 students along with Pranananda Swamy stocked the college and attacked Animishananda, Secretary Ratindranath Avadhuth, Nandakishor Singh and Rakesh Kumar with rods and damaged the office property.
Circle Police Inspector C Sampath Kumar and team rushed to the spot and arrested Pranananda Swamy and the students and have registered a case.
