Exposed In Letter, JNU Vice Chancellor's Doublespeak On Police Action | Read

Stung by criticism that he allowed the police an unprecedented free run on the Jawaharlal Nehru University campus, Vice Chancellor M Jagadesh Kumar held a press conference on Monday to put out a strong disclaimer. But NDTV has accessed a letter that seems to prove the allegation. The letter, written by the University Registrar to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, South District, says the "VC grants to the police force permission to enter JNU campus if need be and as you may deem fit." Dated February 11, the letter has no other riders or stipulations.
