Gurgaon, Sep 6: A protest at a private engineering college here over the death of a girl student turned violent today, with the agitators smashing window panes of vehicles and setting afire a college bus.
The students, who had gathered for a condolence meet to mourn the death of the 19-year-old student, went on rampage alleging negligence on behalf of the college for the death of girl who died after fainting in the campus.
The situation was soon brought under control, police said.
