Four JNU Students Rusticated After Violent Hostel Clash Injures Four
On November 5, a violent clash involving sharp-edged weapons occurred in Room 119 of JNU's Barak Hostel, injuring four students, including Saurabh Singh who lost vision in one eye. The dispute reportedly stemmed from objections over a student's friendship with a woman. Following the incident, the university rusticated four students and barred them from campus pending inquiry. Police registered an FIR including attempt to murder charges, and investigations are ongoing. The university emphasized its zero-tolerance policy on violence and warned against sheltering the expelled students.
