'Scared To Go Back To JNU For The First Time': Professor Hurt In Attack | Read

Sucharita Sen has been associated with the Jawaharlal Nehru University for the last 20 years, having joined the renowned institution as a student before going on to become a professor in its teaching faculty. Today, she is scared to go back there for the first time in her life. Ms Sen is among at least 34 faculty members and students injured in mayhem unleashed by a gang of 70 to 100 masked assailants on the Jawaharlal Nehru University campus on Sunday evening. Although Delhi police claim to have identified some of the culprits from emerging video clips and photographs of the mayhem, they have been accused of doing little other than blocking the institution gates at a time when the assailants -- allegedly affiliated to the RSS-linked Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad -- were going from hostel to hostel indiscriscrimately assaulting its occupants with iron rods and blunt weapons.
