Students Protest Against ABVP at Police Headquarters

A day after ABVP unleashed violence on students, faculty members, and media persons, protest against them continued at a different venue. Students from different colleges of Delhi University gathered outside the Police headquarters (HQ) at ITO. Many faculty members also addressed the students. The students demanded that the police must immediately register an FIR against the people who attacked the peaceful protesters yesterday.

The Police shut down the metro station’s exit leading directly to the Police HQ. That made the protesters walk an extra metaphorical mile to get to the protest venue.

Finally, the Commissioner came out, after the students protested outside the HQ for a few hours demanding to speak with him. The commissioner stated that they had not witnessed any violence yesterday.  

But the students demanded that an FIR should be registered. When the commissioner assured the students that an FIR has been registered, the students asked for a copy of the FIR. The copy of the FIR was not provided to the students.

The commissioner was also asked to answer for the violence faced by women on their watch. He responded saying ‘uska kuch nahi kiya ja sakta’ (nothing can be done about that!)

The police has reportedly registered an FIR at Maurice Nagar police station against students from both sides.
