Students of JNU clashed with the police on Monday after they were stopped from marching to Parliament to protest a hostel fee hike.
They weren’t just roughed up but also groped, the JNUSU said at a press conference.
The Union, represented by its president Aishe Ghosh, said the ongoing protests against increased hostel fees were for a just cause, and demanded that all notices served to students on and outside campus, FIRs included, be withdrawn immediately.
She said JNU students wouldn’t relent without a complete rollback.
