On October 28, 2024, an unknown assailant(s) planted a grenade at the main entrance of Ghanapriya Women’s College. 

On the morning of October 28, pedestrians alerted police that they had spotted a grenade outside the university gate. Alongside the grenade was a note that read: “Down with fascist education, glory to the proletarian students and free education movement.” 

Once police arrived, they safely disposed of the bomb. No group claimed responsibility. 

Scholars at Risk are concerned about threats to and/or violent and destructive attacks on campus, apparently intended to prevent the functioning of a higher education institution. In addition to the harm to the immediate victims, such actions undermine academic freedom and democratic society generally.
