Members of the RSS-affiliated ABVP and t🦄he Left-backed AISA entered into a scuffle on Monday, hours after the JNU Students' Union (JNUSU) poll results were ann𝔉ounced.
A united front of Left student groups Sunday won all four central💟 panel posts in the union defeating the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) by considerable💮 margins.
Newly-elected JNUSU president N Sai Balaji alleged that he was ꦉbeaten up in the early hou🐎rs of Monday by ABVP members.
He said m𒁏embers of the ABVP were roughing up an All India Students' Association (AISA) member and when "I and a co💜uple of others intervened, we were assaulted".
Balaji claimed that the ABVP members even attacked them when a Police Control Room (PCR) vehicle was taking them away from the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) camp💮us.
However, the ABVP claimed that their members were roughed up by AISA activi💧sts.
Th🐼e ABVP and the AISA have both filed co🐻mplaints at the Vasant Kunj police station.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Sou🌸thwest) Devende♊r Arya said the situation is under control.
"The PCR got calls about a scuffle between students in JNU around 3 am. Subsequently, we had a discu🤪ssion with university authorities, students and professors.
"Cꦓomplaints have been received in Vasant Kunj (North) pol𝕴ice station. Legal action is being taken on merit. The situation is under control and normal. Police arrangements are in place," he said.
Balaji of AISA 𝓰bagged 2,161 votes in the JNUSU polls Sunday. He defeated ABVP candidate Lalit Pandey by a margin of 1,179 votes.
The Left-backed AISA, Students' Federation of India (SFI), Democratic Students' Federation (D🀅SF) and All India Studentsꦏ' Federation (AISF) came together to form the 'United Left' alliance.
