Parvez was seriously injured in the incident, they added. Hearing the incident, IIUC students went on the rampage and blocked the highway at around 1:00pm. Agitating students removed the barricade at around 3:00pm following a meeting among the university authorities, local administration and transport owners. The meeting decided to construct a speed-breaker on the road and set up a bus stop in front of IIUC's permanent campus in Kumira, sources said.
