JNU Students, Staff Want V-C Removed

Blame game begins between ABVP and JNUSU over violence on the campus that left 34 injured

The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union ( JNUSU) and the Jawaharlal Nehru University Teachers Association ( JNUTA) on Monday demanded the immediate removal of JNU Vice Chancellor M. Jagadesh Kumar following the brutal attack by masked goons on the university campus on Sunday night.

Under fire for allowing the violence to continue, the Delhi police said an FIR had been registered against “unknown persons” for rioting and damage to property. No arrests have been made so far.

34 treated for injuries

Thirty-four persons injured in the attack, who were brought to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on Sunday night, were discharged after treatment. One teacher was taken to Safdarjung Hospital and later discharged, an official said.

“Several students had broken limbs and head injuries. They were discharged after first aid,” said a senior official at the AIIMS.
