In Pictures: Delhi Police Release Images Of JNSU Prez Aishe Ghosh, 8 Other Suspects In JNU Violence

JNU witnessed widespread violence on Sunday evening in which two office-bearers of the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union (JNUSU), including President Aishe Ghosh, received injuries.

The DGP also said that as off now, no suspect has been detained, but we will begin to interrogate the suspects soon. "A large majority of students want to register but the mentioned groups and their sympathizers are not allowing students to do the same," he said.

"JNU administration decided to go for online registration of students from Jan 1-5. JNU Students' Union including Students Front of India, All India Students Federation, All India Students Association and Democratic Students Federation were against it," police said.

Ghosh, who was injured in the attack, however, refuted the charge saying the Delhi Police should make public whatever proof it has against her.

About the attack on January 5, the DCP said that specific rooms in the university's Periyar hostel were targeted. Several people including Aishe Ghosh attacked students in the hostel, the police officer claimed.

Addressing a press conference, DCP (Crime Branch) Joy Tirkey, who is probing the case, said a majority of the students wanted to register for the winter semester from January 1 to 5, but the left-leaning students' bodies were not allowing them to do so.

The Delhi Police on Friday released pictures of nine suspects in the JNU violence case and claimed JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh was one of them.

Delhi Police PRO, MS Randhawa said that usually update on any investigation is given once it is completed, but in this case it is being done in middle as several rumours have been spread regarding the incident.

Of the nine, seven belong to left-leaning student organisations while two are affiliated to right-wing students' body, the police said.
