A masked mob of goons broke into Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University today, assaulted students and faculty and vandalised property. Around 30 students, all from Left-backed groups and 12 teachers were injured. The JNU Students' Union or JNUSU's president Aishe Ghosh, injured in the attack, was bleeding heavily when taken to hospital. A tweet from the JNUSU said she was "singled out and hit on her head by men who entered the university campus with the blessing of the guards, the administration and the police".
Students and staff have insisted that the miscreants are still lurking in the campus.
Hundreds of students gathered outside the city's police headquarters to protest against the violence.
