Today a large group of masked mob had entered hostels in JNU campus attacked the students. Several students were injured in this attack, including JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh. The violence took place after two days of conflict between left-wing groups and other students in the university. The left-wing groups are calling for a boycott of the classes, and they prevented students from registering for the winter semester, as they are protesting against fee hike by the university.
