The Jawaharlal Nehru University Teachers’ Association (JNUTA) on Sunday strongly condemned what it described as “violence perpetrated by the Delhi Police” against JNU students and the detention of 28 of them, including three JNU Students Union office bearers, on Saturday.
In a joint statement, JNUTA President Surajit Mazumdar and Secretary Meenakshi Sundriyal said, “Videos and other reports indicate the use of brutal force, leaving several students severely injured. What is of extremely serious concern is not only that women students were among those assaulted, but also that they were detained around 7 pm.”
