The protesting students started to shout slogans after Deuba arrived at the office for the central committee meeting Monday afternoon. Student leader Manish Simkhada claimed that the protesting students were attacked after that.
"They attacked the students who are on hunger strike. Our friends Kamal Panta and Laxmi Bogati have been injured. They have been taken to Star Hospital for treatment," Simkhada told Setopati.
