Tense scenes erupted at Rajasthan University when NSUI members protested against a campus event on women's empowerment, associating it with RSS ideology. The protest turned confrontational as some tried to breach barricades, prompting police intervention and detentions.

Critics, including former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, condemned both the event's RSS affiliations and the police's response to protesters. He argued that the university should focus on educational and research activities rather than ideological promotions.
