Kanpur: Two students of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Kanpur were attacked with a knife by three senior students following an altercation between them.

Three senior students attacked two BTech students who were volunteers to maintain order during the concert. Both injured students were third-year BTech students. Three fourth-year students, Varun Dev, Dinesh Ram, and Adarsh allegedly tried to break the queue to enter the venue and they were stopped by one of the injured students named Aman Meena.
