The Spark: Chaos on the DJ Floor
The event, held just outside the university premises, drew a large crowd of students dancing to DJ music and throwing gulal. However, the atmosphere soured when a dispute broke out over climbing the stage.
According to eyewitnesses, several students attempted to forcibly mount the stage while others tried to block them. This minor disagreement quickly escalated into a full-scale fight, with students from both sides clashing openly in front of hundreds of onlookers.
Viral Video Captures the Violence
A video of the incident has since gone viral on social media platforms. The footage depicts:
-
Students pushing and shoving amidst clouds of colored powder.
-
A group of young men trading heavy blows and kicks.
-
Organizers and fellow students struggling to intervene as the situation spiraled out of control.
Despite the intensity of the brawl visible in the video, no official police complaint has been lodged by either party involved.
ABVP Labels the Incident a "Minor Dispute"
Addressing the viral footage, Aradhya Tiwari, President of the ABVP University Unit, played down the severity of the encounter. He stated that the clash primarily involved students from the Law Department.
"There was a minor misunderstanding among the students during the Holi celebration. We intervened immediately and calmed them down. It was not a major conflict," Tiwari remarked.
A Concerning Trend in Student Culture?
This incidentis not an isolated case of campus unrest in Chhattisgarh. Recently, a similar video surfaced from Raipur showing youths celebrating a birthday by brandishing knives and liquor bottles to "gangster" music.
The GGU University fight highlights a growing concern regarding discipline during large-scale student gatherings. While festivals like Holi are meant to foster brotherhood, the lack of administrative oversight at off-campus events often leads to such unruly behavior.
Key Takeaways for Students:
-
Safety First: Avoid overcrowded stages or high-tension areas during DJ events.
-
Dispute Resolution: Report grievances to organizers or campus security rather than resorting to physical violence.
-
Digital Footprint: Remember that brawl videos can have long-term impacts on academic records and future employment.
