The attack which rocked the college in June 2021, led to the abduction of at least 70 students and four teachers. During the attack, two students sustained injuries as a police officer on a distress call paid the supreme price.
Subsequently, a few of the victims were rescued immediately after a counter-attack by security forces. Others were released by the bandits after stiff ransom negotiations with their family members.
