Protests erupted following campus violence on March 1, when two students were injured after a car in education minister Bratya Basu's convoy allegedly grazed past them amidst the chaos.

Basu, however, claimed that he sustained injuries when protesters damaged his car's windshield.

The minister said while he was willing to discuss the students' demands, they instead attempted to create chaos and forcibly blocked his car.
