JNUSU President Ghosh files attempt to murder complaint

New Delhi:- Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union (JNUSU) President Aishe Ghosh has filed a complaint about the violence that took place at the varsity campus on Sunday.

“I am filing this complaint about the incident in which a mob conspired and acted with common intention to assault, intimidate and attempt to murder me, and request you to register an FIR and apprehend culprits at the earliest,” the complaint read.

She said that on January 5, in the afternoon, she received information from students on the campus that some students affiliated to ABVP along with other unidentified men and women had gathered with weapons like rods, sledgehammers, and lathis near Ganga Bus Stop.

“I along with Nikhil Mathew (MA Labour Studies) who was also present there, we’re surrounded by a group of persons of that mob most of whom were wearing masks. The mob of 20-30 persons dragged me behind a car standing near the 24*7 and surrounded me and despite my pleading did not let me go and attacked me with rods while I had fallen down. I remember that one of the people was of medium height wearing a brownish-red sweatshirt with UCLA written on it. I saw his face as he was facing me and did not have a mask on and can identify him if I see him,” Ghosh wrote in her complaint.

“I was attacked by the above-mentioned persons collectively and was hit on the head multiple times with iron rods. I fell to the ground and my head started bleeding, and some of them kicked me and hit me with the rod on my hand and rest of the body including my head, chest, and back.”

“I am attaching with this complaint a copy of the MLC which details my injuries. Nikhil Mathew tried to save me but was also hit with an iron hammer and other weapons on his head and arms. The intention of the group of men and their acts was definitely to murder me and other persons associated with me,” she said.
