Bengaluru: Over 40 nursing students at a private college in Avalahalli, on the outskirts of Bengaluru, clashed on Wednesday in a fight between seniors and juniors.
The incident occurred outside the college at Virgo Nagar, and surfaced on Thursday after a video of the brawl went viral on social media.
The police said the clash involved third year and final-year students, all from Kerala, over a trivial issue.
"The college has rusticated eight students. No police case has been registered. However, around 40 students engaged in the act were called and strictly warned. Officers have also kept a precautionary watch at the spot,” a senior police officer said.
