Upset after they were allegedly ignored by Samajwadi Party's Lok Sabha candidate Sanjay Dutt, students of Lucknow University on Sunday pelted stones at his convoy in the varsity premises, damaging some vehicles.

The incident took place today afternoon when Dutt was coming out from the bungalow of a professor, sources said.

The students wanted to have a glimpse of the actor. They gathered outside the bungalow and started raising slogans 'Sanju Baba bahar aao' (Sanjay please come out), they said. However, Dutt along with SP leader Virendra Bhatia, continued to hold discussions with the professor and did not come out.

Angry over being 'ignored', students threw stones at the vehicles in Dutt's convoy, damaging some of them. Security personnel were also reportedly injured in the incident.

When asked about the incident, Bhatia tried to underplay it, saying, "Nothing major happened. Some students pelted four-five stones."

"We just wanted to see Dutt. He is contesting elections from Lucknow and he should meet us," said Harish, a student.
