Police reached the spot and managed to the clear the motorway. Meanwhile, some of the students tried to stage protest at the collectorate to file a complaint about the issue. The students and their parents stated that there were not aware of the principal and the whereabouts of the management of the college. Most of the students joined the college in management quota by paying huge amounts of money.
