The ABVP student leaders have stated that some Leftists from JNU were trying to spread anti-India activities on the Utkal University campus and have asked why the campus facility was being used by an organisation named 'Citizen Forum' on a Sunday.
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."
