The police said that two unexploded crude bombs were recovered from the area, as per an NDTV report. The police suspect the attacker threw the bombs in an empty area outside the university canteen to intimidate and warn about a serious attack next time.
Meanwhile, the Congress's student wing, the National Students Union of India or NSUI, alleged the target of the attacks was their leader, Adnan Ansari.
The NSUI said Ansari's continuous protest against the university management may have led to the attack, as per the report.
The incident raises concerns over the security arrangements of the campus. The police are investigating the matter.
