TNI Bureau: The activists of ABVP on Wednesday demanded the arrest of Congress workers who instigated Fakir Mohan Autonomous College student Soumyashree Bisi to self-immolate.

A group of ABVP activists held a protest march from the Utkal University campus to the NH-16 demanding arrest of some Congress activists who allegedly “instigated” her to take the drastic step. However, police stopped and detained them.
