Seven students from Parala Maharaja Engineering College in Berhampur, Odisha were expelled from their hostel for allegedly cooking beef, leading to tensions and the deployment of police personnel at the college. The Dean of Students' Welfare cited violations of the 'rules and code of conduct of the Hall of Residence' as the reason for their expulsion. A fine of Rs 2,000 was also imposed on one of the students. The incident was reported by another group of students, and the college conducted an inquiry before taking action. Groups such as Bajrang Dal and Vishva Hindu Parishad visited the college, demanding strict action. The college authorities have informed the parents and are closely monitoring the situation to prevent further issues.
