There was no immediate response from the JNU Students Union (JNUSU). Hundreds of JNU students pelted stones in the national capital on Monday, stopping many parts of the city.
The students recently took out a protest march protesting the fee hike, against which the agitation has been going on for three weeks.
During their skirmish with the police, the students alleged that they were charged with lathi by men in uniform. However, top police officials denied using force against the students.
According to police, around 30 policemen and 15 students were injured during the eight-hour protest, in which thousands of students from various universities of the national capital participated.
There was a heavy deployment of police and paramilitary personnel outside the main gate of the JNU campus even before the march began. Water canons and PCR vans were also stationed outside.
Before the protests began, the Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD) constituted a three-member committee to restore the normal functioning of the university and recommend ways to initiate dialogue with students and administration.
The protesters marched around noon, breaking the first set of barricades at the main gate of the complex and proceeding towards Baba Gangnath Marg, where another set of barricades awaited them.
Police detained around 100 protesters, including JNUSU President Aish Ghosh, Secretary Satish Chandra Yadav, and former JNUSU president N Sai Balaji.
The students were eventually stopped outside the Safdarjung mausoleum, where, they allege, the police charged them, an allegation denied by men in uniform.
On Saturday, an FIR was registered against unidentified persons over the incident of the “deflection” of JNU’s administration block.
