HYDERABAD: Students who sustained injuries in police lathicharge on the Osmania University campus on Sunday and were admitted to the Durgabai Deshmukh Hospital are now wary of getting discharged. They fear the police would arrest them owing to charges as serious as attempt to murder filed against them.On Tuesday afternoon, one such student who is an OU Joint Action Committee member and had been taking refuge in the hospital in the guise of undergoing treatment for a minor leg injury he had suffered during the police lathicharge, was allegedly manhandled by the Task Force personnel near Durgabai Deshmukh Hospital.
    Due to fear of arrest, some OU students, though declared fit for discharge, preferred to stay in D D Hospital for some more time. “There was an attempt to arrest a student from the hospital by a few policemen in plain clothes while he was stepping out even on Tuesday morning. Hence, I chose to remain in the hospital to evade arrest,” said an OU JAC member at D D Hospital where presently six students are undergoing treatment.
