At least 28 people, including JNU Students' Union president Aishe Ghosh, were injured as chaos reigned on the campus for nearly two hours after masked men armed with sticks and rods attacked students and teachers and damaged property on the campus. Nearly 20 were taken to the AIIMS trauma centre for treatment.
The Delhi government on Wednesday filed its reply in the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) sedition case. The Arvind Kejriwal government, which has been dragging its feet on giving sanctions to prosecute the students involved in the 2016 incident said that the file has been pending with Deputy Secretary Home and the matter was under his consideration.
It had attracted special media attention after the "tukde tukde" episode allegedly involving raising of anti-national slogans on the campus during a programme on February 9, 2016.
He, however, said the Delhi government's home department will take the appropriate decision after taking all facts into consideration.
The event had taken place despite the university administration cancelling the permission following a complaint from Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, which had termed it "anti-national".
The AAP government and the Delhi Police engaged in a blame game on Saturday after a court questioned the department for filing a chargesheet in the sedition case against former JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar and others without procuring the required sanction from authorities.
The evidence listed by the agency include report of JNU's high-level committee, statement of varsity's Registrar Bhupinder Jutshi and the mobile phone recordings in which Kumar was seen arguing with him over cancellation of the programme.
