JNUTA demands independent enquiry into Delhi Police's role in JNU violence

India TV News  

The Jawaharlal Nehru Teachers’ Association on Friday hit out at Delhi Police for blaming the Jawaharlal University Students' Union and students for the violence that rocked the campus on Sunday evening, as it demanded an investigation by an independent body into the episode. "Today's press conference thus only highlights the significance of the JNUTA's view of the need for an independent investigation that can also scrutinise the acts of omission and commission on the part of the police as well as the administration," the teachers' body said in its statement, issued after the presser by Delhi Police. The JNUTA said that Delhi Police's attempt to portray students protesting the fee hike as "unruly mob" only reinforced its role on the "fateful day." Having said that, Delhi Police PRO MS Randhawa has said that the force didn't usually hold press conferences in initial stages of the probe and that Friday’s presser was the first among several others that will follow as the investigation proceeds.
