The students of OU who were fasting for the 5th day for the cause of a separate Telangana were forcibly shifted to hospital on Monday morning. 17 students were shifted to Gandhi hospital in the wee hours of Monday, but police attempts were strongly resisted by the students, who locked themselves in the Arts College building.
From 10am, police personnel fought off agitating students and took the hiding students away. Soon, after, another group of students began a fast-unto-death strike. Members of the Telangana JAC were present in the campus to extend their support to students
