On the last day of Navratri, on Sunday, some students of Kaveri hostel had organized Ram Navami Pooja and Havana. On the other hand, Iftar party was also organized in the hostel area. Meat was also kept for this Iftar party. This was objected by some students. As the pooja of Ram Navami has started and it is the last day of Navratri, meat should not be included in the menu of hostel mess, said ABVP. This led to a clash in two groups.

"There should be no conflict between veg and non-veg. People of all castes and religions live in India. Everyone should respect each other. I am of this opinion," said Ramdas.
