Vadodara Served with extern notices, student leaders from Akhil Bharthiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), Vikas Dubey and Surendra Pratap Singh along with their legal counsel Niraj Jain, will now challenge the claims of the Vadodara Police.

Vadodara Police had recently asked Dubey and Singh to remain present before the senior police officials who had sent a notice to extern them from the city.

"They (Police) have named my clients in the theft cases which were already solved. We will fight the case in the court of law," said Jain.

According to the notices served to these student leaders, several offences have been registered against them earlier.

On the other hand, despite police orders against shouting slogans on the premises of the government offices, agitated ABVP members including the M S University Secretary, Hari Kiran Rao, resorted to sloganeering and cried foul over serving notices to the students.

"We will launch a movement if our student members are implicated without any proper proof," said Rao.

Meanwhile, senior police officials said Dubey and Singh were forewarned about their activities.

Sources in the Vadodara Police revealed that Dubey and Singh were involved in clashes and threatening the students during the M S University elections in 2008, which were videotaped by a local television and later provided to the police officers.

"Not so long back, Dubey was seen chasing a professor from the Faculty of Technology and Engineering with a knife during the university elections," said a senior police officer in Vadodara, on the condition of anonymity.

Dubey, a Senate member!
If student leaders of the ABVP are to be believed, Vikas Dubey is likely to be selected as a government nominee for the M S University Senate. "Dubey has been discussed by senior ABVP leaders as a government nominee in the Senate. However, with these cases coming into light, his political career might be affected," said an ABVP leader on the condition of anonymity.
