Protesting students led by the JNUSU on Monday evening, gheraoed V-C M. Jagadesh Kumar’s house on the campus and demanded that he come out and address their demands. The students have been protesting against the new admission policy for over a week now.
The V-C was not at his residence. He later tweeted: “This evening few hundred students forcibly broke into my JNU residence and confined my wife inside home for several hours while I was away in a meeting. Is it the way to protest? Terrorising a lonely lady at home?”.
DCP (South-West) Devendra Arya said that there was a call for a march to the VC’s house and students reached the house and tried to enter. They were stopped by the security staff. “So far, most of the students have gone back to the hostel. Some of them are still there but the situation is under control,” he said on Monday night.
