JNU violence: Delhi Police questions 3 students including Aishe Ghosh; students, teachers boycott classes
Live MintThe Delhi Police on Monday questioned three JNU students, including JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh, in connection with the January 5 violence on campus, even as students and teachers boycotted classes on the opening day of the winter semester amid a standoff over the hostel fee hike issue. As the JNU students union continued to boycott the registration for the winter semester demanding a complete roll back of the hostel fee hike, the university administration claimed that of the nearly 8,500 students more than 5,000 have registered. On the probe into the violence when a masked mob attacked students and teachers, a crime branch team of the Delhi Police visited the JNU and questioned Pankaj Mishra and Vasker Vijay Mech besides Ghosh. At a meeting with the HRD ministry officials, a five-member delegation of JNU Teachers Association said the atmosphere was not conducive to conduct academic activities and claimed students are scared of coming back to campus.
