ABVP activists described the recent events at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) where violence erupted during a protest rally. The clash occurred between student groups with differing ideologies, each blaming the other for instigating the aggression.
Vikas Patel, an ABVP activist, mentioned a previous incident involving a proposed facial recognition machine in the university library. Allegedly, members of JNUSU damaged the machine valued at Rs 20 lakh, leading to disciplinary actions against them. Patel claimed that subsequent protests over this issue escalated, resulting in disruptions to classes and a march that turned chaotic.
During the march, the situation reportedly worsened as students allegedly attempted to lock reading rooms and libraries, causing tension and altercations. ABVP worker was said to have been attacked, prompting the group to plan formal complaints with the Delhi Police and JNU administration.
Shikha Swaraj, another ABVP activist, highlighted that the march deviated from its intended route, leading to harassment of students in academic areas. She mentioned that injured students would undergo Medico-Legal Case (MLC) procedures and file complaints regarding the incident.
