Meanwhile, students in Bihar blocked train and vehicular traffic to protest the attack on north Indians by MNS.
Hundreds of students squatted on Darbhanga-Samastipur railway line near Donar for more than 30 minutes after they received information that eight of the examinees from Bihar were mercilessly assaulted by MNS activists in Maharashtra, police said.
A train on the route was held up for about half an hour due to the agitation, sources said, adding police later used mild force to get the track cleared.
The agitators then headed for Donar Chowk where they brought vehicular traffic to a halt by burning tyres. A bus, which happened to pass by, was attacked by the students, who smashed the windscreen and window panes.
Teams from Sadar and Town Police Station rushed to the spot and persuaded the agitators to lift the blockade after about an hour of chaotic scenes.
