Indian Institute of Science (IISc) students sat on protest for the third consecutive day after a newly installed iron gate collapsed killing a security guard inside campus. A committee headed by IISc director Prof. Anurag Kumar has also been constituted to look into the matter. However, protests continued on Wednesday as students demanded transparency into the investigation. According to the students, police officials tried to act as mediators speaking to the director and the students on the issue. It is also alleged that campus security officers were directed to stay away from joining students in the protest.
