According to police, the dispute took place during a two-day cultural event held from September 29 to 30. A disagreement reportedly started between students of the Law Department and those from Mewat district over clapping and whistling during performances. Tensions rose further when some individuals allegedly made remarks targeting a particular religion, leading to a violent confrontation.
