JNU student recounts brutality displayed by cops

November 20, 2019 09:07

The ruckus over the hostel fee hike at Jawaharlal Nehru University exploded after protests by students in the national capital turned violent, following which the Delhi Police personnel resorted to lathi-charge.

The protests for a complete rollback of fee hike entered its fourth week and the students of JNU today called for a complete shutdown of academic activities in the college.

Visuals of injured student protesters, bleeding from their head and admitted to hospitals, sitting battered on roadsides in the national capital was nothing but the stark reality of the brutal assault on student rights and freedom of speech, some said.

Injured students spoke at length about the clash that broke out between them and the police on Monday evening, which also included a visually-challenged student of the varsity being pushed around and beaten mercilessly by the police personnel.

A student, identified as Shashi Bhushan, said that the cops did not stop beating him even after him pleading that he was blind.

Despite repeatedly telling them that Im blind, the police did not stop, Shashi Bhushan said.
