NEW DELHI, DECEMBER 6 : In wake of protests by a number of students in Banaras Hindu University, the Lanka police has lodged an FIR against the BHU Chief Proctor, Royana Singh. The unrest of BHU students in the university campus began with a protest by a group of law students demanding permission to appear in the internal examinations. As per the BHU administration, the law students had been debarred from exams due to attendance shortage.
