However, stone pelting was done by some youths from that coaching centre when some CRPF vehicles were moving from that area. CRPF troops immediately came out of the vehicles and on seeing the CRPF troops coming towards them, the youths/students gathered there started running here and there.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp ChannelDuring which one boy fell down from the first floor of the coaching centre.
