MS University Vadodara’s law faculty head was arrested for obstructing a public servant on duty and causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means, after he allegedly smeared itching powder on the vice chancellor’s (VC) chair.

The incident was speculated to be an act of revenge by the faculty head – Ghanshyam Solanki - after his promotion application was rejected.

The head reportedly confessed to using the itching powder but claimed that it was not meant for the VC, Yogesh Singh, but that his real target was professor SS Bhattacharya who is the faculty in charge of the law department [TOI]
