JNUSU hold gathering to commemorate 2 years of campus violence, blame ABVP
The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union on Wednesday held a gathering to commemorate two years of the violence that erupted on campus. The students' body accused the ABVP of being involved in the violence. On January 5, 2020, a mob of masked men stormed the campus and targeted students in three hostels, unleashing mayhem with sticks, stones and iron rods, hitting inmates and breaking windows, furniture and personal belongings.
