DELHI's Students' Federation of India (SFI) and other student organisations staged a protest on Friday demanding the arrest of the principal of Delhi University's Shaheed Bhagat Singh College after a Dalit student alleged that the former hurled casteist slurs and assaulted him after he was falsely accused of sending obscene messages on the official WhatsApp group of his department.

The students demanded an FIR against accused Arun Attree.
