Police speaking language of JNU VC: JNUSU

The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) on Friday accused the Delhi Police of speaking the language of the varsity's vice-chancellor and said those who were assaulted have been "implicated as suspects".

The union's statement comes after the police on Friday released pictures of nine suspects in the JNU violence case and claimed JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh was one of them, five days after a masked mob assaulted students on the varsity's campus, leaving 35 injured, including her.

The police briefing today was a litany of distortions, half-truths and outright lies, the JNUSU alleged.

"The most significant fact was that the DCP named all left organisations but the name of the ABVP (Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad) was curiously missing," it said.

The silence of the police on the ABVP is deafening and its ploy to implicate the Left in the violence is an indication that this "investigation is a political investigation", the JNUSU said.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch) Joy Tirkey said members of the Student Federation of India (SFI), the All India Students Association (AISA), the Democratic Students Federation (DSF) and the All India Student Federation (AISF) have been allegedly "creating nuisance and threatening students" against the recently started online admission process for the university's winter semester,
