MANUU Student Evicted From Hostel For Demanding Extra Pooris

Hyderabad: Nafis Akhtar, a BA second year student at Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) has been evicted from the hostel for demanding two more pieces of poori on Tuesday.

Akhtar had an argument with mess in-charge Shamsuddin, reportedly after he asked for two extra pooris after the closing time of breakfast. “I would have eaten the pooris as they’ll be thrown away. Shamsuddin told me to put the pooris back. After that he grabbed my collar and to my defense I also retaliated,” Akhtar said.
