Babu said, "Around 10 o'clock when the protest was over. A lot of garbage was lying outside the main gate of the campus. 10 to 12 students were present at that time. Undergraduates, MA and some former students decided to clean the area. He said, "There was a feeling of fear and anger among the students and everyone on campus, but we had to keep our campus clean too, so we did it''.
