As many as six persons were injured after a scuffle broke out between two groups of students at the Kaveri Hostel of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi allegedly over serving of non-vegetarian food in the canteen on Ram Navami.
The two groups, however, claimed that more than 60 people were injured from both sides. The JNU Students’ Union (JNUSU), affiliated with Left parties, claimed that Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) members assaulted the mess secretary and staff, and stopped the supply of chicken.
The Delhi Police has deployed its team in the area and said a case has been registered under Sections 323, 341, 509, 506 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
“We received a complaint from a group of students who are members of JNUSU, SFI, DSF and AISA early this morning against unknown ABVP students… Further probe is on to collect evidence and identify culprits,” the Delhi Police said.
