\ Cuttack, Oct 28 (PTI) The authorities of Madhusudan\Law College here today shut down the facility indefinitely\after student unrest in the campus continued unabated, which\started since post-election violence between two groups of\students.\ \\"We have asked the students to vacate the college\campus and hostels by 6 PM and handed over the campus to the\police,\\" said College Principal Prof S K Nanda.\ Trouble began in the premier law college of the state\on October 25 when the newly elected general secretary of the\students\\’ union Satabdi Samantray allegedly slapped another\girl student Rohini Biswal after a heated exchange of words.\ Rohini had lost to Satabdi in the elections.\ Soon supporters of both warring students jumped into\the fray leading to mass protests and counter protests even as\two cases were registered in the local Malgodown police\station.\ Stepping in to resolve the matter amicably, the\College Disciplinary Committee found Satabdi guilty and after\reprimand she was asked to tender an unconditional apology.\ But, an adamant Rohini and her supporters did not\accept the written apology and instead, continued to create\ruckus inside the campus demanding that Satabdi be rusticated\from the college.
