A section of students of the prestigious Cotton College here allegedly attacked media persons and molested Assam Police women commando unit personnel in front of Guwahati Railway Station in the wee hours today. The incident prompted education minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to seek a report from the century old college’s authority on the incident.

Commissioner of Police Guwahati Mukesh Agarwal told reporters today that police cases have been received from various quarters on the incident about vandalism, damage to vehicles and two women commandos being attacked. “Our investigation is on, we met the college authority and will proceed as per the laid down system for taking lawful action against the culprits,” Agarwal said.
