According to Janam TV, the journalist was attacked by the leftist students while they were reporting about the illegal screening of the banned BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
JUNSU President Aishe Gosh claimed that "ABVP pelted stones, but no step by admin yet. We almost completed the film's screening. Our priority is that electricity should be restored. We'll file FIR."
The accused has been identified as Prasanna Raj, who is pursuing a Master's degree from the Centre for Political Studies (CPS). The incident took place on the rooftop of JNU's Chandrabagha hotel.
