In a first FIR registered on Monday, Delhi police described that the violent act at varsity campus as “deliberate” and said that it was conducted “in a planned manner”. More than 40 hours after the incident, cops are yet to arrest a single person from the mob which entered the university campus and assaulted students and teachers.
Student communities across the country are standing in solidarity with JNU. Protests were held across the country after the masked goons attacked students and teachers of JNU. Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of RSS, is blamed for the attack. However, it has denied any involvement and alleged violence by Left student groups.
