All 18 suspects are in Police custody and will be produced in court for trial.
“We would like to give assurance that all other people involved in the disturbances will be arrested and brought to face justice,” said the Police in a statement.
The students who had gathered at the entrance of the residence hall, chanting and singing loudly, could not enter the main area of the Hall.
The situation occurred after the university management requested reinforcement from the police, as it had received reports that a message had been shared on social media, instructing all students in the hall to pack their belongings and report at the entrance on the basis of a court order.
Although it is not clear what caused the students to return to the entrance of the hall, and the police were very busy, the video shared by universnews on Instagram shows that the students failed in their attempts to break through the police.
It was recalled that the management of the university had to call for police reinforcement after getting information that spread on social media that the former students of the hall had to gather at the entrance with their belongings.
