The police have registered an FIR for Sunday’s attack against unknown persons for rioting. However, no arrests have been made even though the police was present when the attackers carrying sticks walked out of the JNU campus.
The FIR against Ghosh says that a large number of student agitators, including Aishe Ghosh, Saket Moon and 18 others, allegedly entered the Communication and Information Services office located in the admin block from the back door by “breaking” a glass door. The FIR says that they illegally trespassed and damaged the fibre optic cables, servers and biometric devices.
The police say that the case has been registered under IPC Section 323 (Punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 341 (Punishment for wrongful restraint), 506 (Punishment for criminal intimidation) and damage to public property Act at Vasant Kunj North police station.
JNUSU vice president Saket Moon has alleged that the administration is selectively targeting some students and denied any involvement in the vandalism of the server room.
