One clip shows a group of youths, some wearing saffron shirts and at least one sporting a saffron turban, vandalising a bust of cultural icon Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar outside the Vidyasagar College hostel. Another shows a separate group inside the campus hurling large stones across the wall at men wearing saffron shirts and turbans, carrying BJP flags. On Wednesday, at the Vidyasagar College hostel campus, S R Mohanty, the caretaker, said he was instructed to lock the gate at around 6.30 pm, about 15 minutes before the roadshow reached the spot. BJP workers present in the area during the clash said stones were pelted at them while the roadshow passed. People threw stones from inside the campus and the BJP workers forcefully entered the campus and vandalised everything,” he said.
