In Maharashtra, just before Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's 'Students' Echo' program to be held in Pune, a heated argument and fierce fighting took place between the workers of National Students Union of India (NSUI) and Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) in the hostel premises of College of Engineering Pune (COEP) Technological University late on Friday night, after which the police reached the spot, controlled the situation and also detained some people.

This uproar started over the dialogue program with Rahul Gandhi. NSUI alleges that ABVP members beat up the girl students who wanted to be a part of the program and kept them confined in the hostel. On the other hand, ABVP vehemently denied these allegations and accused Congress workers of forcibly forcing students to attend the program.
