Condemning the incident, wherein the car of a professor was vandalised in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), another professor of the university Prof. Ashwin said the team of the institution was in the hands of few anarchists.

"Unfortunately, the JNU team is in the hands of few anarchists and is more concerned about the government policies. It is interested more in what is happening in Delhi University," Prof. Ashwin said.

"I saw a silence for the first time over such incident against violence and that too against a teacher. The JNU is supposed to protect and promote interests in the teaching community. Even if it is small, it is a case of violence and breach of freedom of speech," he added.

Earlier, an assistant professor at JNU, Prof. Buddha Singh, alleged that his car was vandalised and stones were thrown at his house by unknown attackers for organising an event on the university campus to condole the death of jawans in Sukma and Kupwara.
