The JNU campus had been marred with large-scale violence and chaos on Sunday. Masked goons had entered into hostels and have wreaked havoc on students and security staff.
Prior to that, the leftists had attacked the CIS centre in the campus and had vandalised the servers, damaging the optical fibre cables and power supply in order to halt the ongoing registration process for the winter semester.
JNU admin, in a written statement, had also stated that some agitating students have been physically opposing non-agitating students who wanted to pursue their academic activities.
