Students of homoeopathy tried to attack the house of the former director of Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, P M Bhargava to protest against his statement that homeopathy was not a valid system of medicine and that its medicines were no more than mere placebos.
A group of students first went to the CCMB campus and vandalised the gate. They left when told that Bhargava had retired. They then went to his house a few kilometres away and besieged it. They raised slogans against the scientist and demanded an apology from him. The students were dispersed by police who responded to Bhargava’s? complaint.
