Studentsu00a0were out in large numbers at Delhi University's north campus on Sunday to protest the expulsion of a PhD student from Gwyer Hall Hostel.u00a0u00a0 Students protesting against the Delhi University administration's decision to evict au00a0 Sanskrit PhD student from a north campus hostel on Sunday. Pic/Subhash BaroliaRavi Ranjan, who hails from a small town in Bihar and is a Sanskrit scholar, got a letter from the administration on Friday evening to vacate the hostel within 48 hours on grounds of misbehaviour. Ranjan claims he was not given any notice before being asked to vacate the room. According to him a small incident a year back cannot be a reason for such treatment meted out to a student. Last year a mess worker had filed a complaint against me as I had a small scuffle with him on serving nhygienic food. My nomination for the hostel president was cancelled then due to the issue. On the grounds of this complaint the university cannot kick me out and that too after it has been more than a year, said Ranjan. As loud slogans rocked the campus, finally the expulsion was cancelled late on Sunday evening. The Gwyer Hall hostel provost Vasudev Chatterjee refrained from answering phone calls on the issue and was not available for comments.
