Bhopal, Sep 8 - Indian Army authorities at the Military Headquarters of War (MHOW) in Madhya Pradesh said Tuesday that they had launched an investigation to find out if their officials had allegedly ransacked furniture at a medical college in Indore Monday night, officials said.

Army officers, studying in MHOW, allegedly broke window panes and ransacked furniture of the Sri Aurobindo College of Medical Sciences (SACMS), Indore, late Monday in retaliation against medicos allegedly attacking two of their colleagues earlier in the day.

'The officers, yet to be identified, created ruckus at the college as they went there on some 30 to 40 motorcycles, pelted stones, entered the college hostel and ransacked furniture in the rooms and the mess,' said Senior Superintendent of Police Vipin Maheshwari.

'They however dispersed as police arrived,' he said.

Earlier in the day two army officers had picked up a fight with medicos while they were dropping a student of SACMS to the college hostel, officials said.
