The incident took place at a toll plaza in SV Puram, Andhra Pradesh.
A free-for-all clash broke out at a toll plaza in Andhra Pradesh’s Tirupati on Sunday after students of a law college in Tamil Nadu were stopped over a payment issue. The students pelted stones, attacked toll booth staff with helmets and also allegedly damaged some vehicles present there.
The clash continued for some time despite a police team reaching the spot and confronting the law students, warning them not to obstruct the moment of vehicles at the toll plaza.
The students were returning after an exam when the vehicle of one of the law students was stopped at the toll plaza as his FASTag payment was not working. The student was then asked to take his car back and clear the way for other vehicles queuing behind him.
This enraged the students, who allegedly attacked the staff with helmets.
Police reached the spot and asked the students not to obstruct the movement of other vehicles. But the students remained adamant and allegedly gave way to only vehicles with Tamil Nadu registration and prevented vehicles from Andhra Pradesh from passing. A fierce fight broke out between a group of students and local residents over this.
Police has started investigation to find out the entire incident and has also promised strict action against those involved.
