PESHAWAR: A policeman was injured when two groups of Insaf Students Federation (ISF) clashed at the University Campus here on Monday, the police said.

A police official at the Campus police station told Dawn that clashes took place between two factions of ISF at Sheikh Taimoor Academic Block. He said a student identified as Waqar opened fire when police personnel tried to arrest him, injuring a policeman, Aamir Sohail.

The official said the police arrested the accused.

A police spokesperson said the accused had graduated from the university in 2017.

Separately, the police are investigating human remains recovered from a burnt car in the limits of the Inqilab police station the other day.
