As a mob went on a rampage in JNU, two FIRs were filed by Delhi Police on the night of January 5, within a span of few minutes, after taking cognisance of complaints filed by JNU authorities naming office bearers of student union including its injured president Aishe Ghosh in connection with alleged vandalism on premises on previous days.

The general diary reference in police records showed the FIRs were registered at 8.44 pm and 8.49 pm on complaints filed by the varsity's security department on January 3 and January 4 respectively. These were related to alleged incidents of vandalism on January 1 and January 4 respectively.

Incidentally, this was also the time when police had been called in to restore law and order in the university and several injured students, including Ghosh, were rushed to hospital.

Ghosh or any students' union office bearer's name does not figure in the accused column of the FIRs though they were named in the complaints.

Police said the two FIRs were transferred on Tuesday to the Crime Branch, which is also probing the Sunday violence
