They were carrying ABVP banners and  were instigating students to leave th3ee classes and join their protest.

Science practicals were going on at that time and the miscreants tried to disrupt the same. Even after police intervention, the mob continued to raise slogans and create a ruckus. “Being the largest college in Goa, safety of our students and staff is our priority. Hence, for their safety classes were stopped and students were requested to leave the campus in order to avoid any untoward incident,” he said.
