Denied permission for a Holi event, student leaders allegedly locked their teachers inside a hall and even cut off the power supply at a prestigious Indore college, officials said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

After the incident at the Government Holkar Science College on Monday came to light, the district administration ordered an inquiry.<\/p>\n

Student leaders who were angry over the denial of permission for a Holi event locked the door of a hall where teachers were, and cut off the electricity supply, said an official.<\/p>\n

Several teachers remained locked inside for about half an hour as students shouted slogans. A college employee who too was confined inside managed to sneak out through a window and open the door, allowing the teachers to exit.<\/p>\n

District Magistrate Ashish Singh called the incident “extremely serious.” The college’s principal Dr Anamika Jain had filed a complaint, and an Additional District Magistrate (ADM) was asked to investigate the matter, he told reporters.<\/p>\n

“Appropriate action will be taken based on the ADM’s report,” he averred.<\/p>\n

No police case has been registered in the matter yet.<\/p>\n

The Holkar Science College was established 133 years ago by the then Holkar rulers of Indore.<\/p>\n

Some students had planned to organize the “Holkar Ka Holi Fest” event with an entry fee of Rs 150 on March 7, featuring DJ performances and a ‘rain dance’, sponsored by a coaching class for civil services examinations.<\/p>\n

Even though the college administration denied permission to the event, they went ahead and put up posters on campus advertising the same.<\/p>\n
