At least five north east students including a Manipuri girl were injured when they engaged a fierce scuffle with some students of the same region at Sikkim Manipal engineering college today.
Sources said they, four of whom are Assamese, were bashed up by a group of students in their revenge strike triggering a panicky situation in the prestigious institute.
Of the five, three of them including the Manipuri girl, received severe injuries as a result of which they were kept at the Intensive Care Unit of a hospital, the sources added.
Though the situation was brought under control, Sikkim government is contemplating sending the injured students to their respective states.
On being contacted, a senior state official said no information on the matter was intimated from his Sikkim counterpart.
