Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southwest) Manoj C said, "Today, around



5pm, a PCR call was received that students are fighting among each other in JNU near Narmada Hostel."

On reaching the spot, it was revealed that there was a brawl between two groups of JNU students over a personal issue which led to a fight among them.

"We have received two MLC (medico legal cases) so far. We have not received any complaint in this regard so far. As and when we receive it, necessary legal action will be taken," the officer said.

“When we received a message in the afternoon that a stick-carrying and tube light-wielding mob was coming here in big cars, the JNUSU president informed the Delhi Police. The JNU security has failed us time and again,” she added.
