A group of people have reportedly attacked several students and teachers of Jawaharlal Nehru University including the Jawaharlal Nehru University Student Union (JNUSU), President Aishee Ghosh.
In a video being circulated online, JNUSU’s President Aishe Ghosh, with blood running down her face, can be heard saying, “I’ve been brutally attacked by goons who were masked, I have been bleeding… I am not in a condition to talk.”
Distressing news from #jnuprotests.

The behaviour of guards and police is also questionable who were missing from the hostels site where the mobs entered and created the mayhem.

Meanwhile JNUSU has given a statement and asked the students to gather at main gate to resist the violence inside the campus. The statement is-
ABVP in police presence is moving around with lathis, rods, hammers with their faces under masks. They are pelting bricks, climbing over walls and getting into hostels and beating up students. Several teachers and students have also been beaten up. JNUSU President Aishe Ghosh has been brutally attacked and her head is bleeding very badly. Students are trying to save themselves while being chased by ABVP goons while the police is complicit in their crimes, it is taking the orders from Sanghi Professors, forcing students to chant Bharat Mata ki Jai slogans!
It is an emergency situation we request all media persons, civil society, and medical and legal help immediately. Call Vasant Kunj Police Station and demand accountability from this saffron Police!
APPEAL TO ASSEMBLE 9 PM TODAY AT JNU MAIN GATE TO STOP REIGN OF TERROR INSIDE CAMPUS
I am so shocked to know abt the violence at JNU. Students attacked brutally. Police shud immediately stop violence and restore peace. How will the country progress if our students will not be safe inside univ campus?
