As seen in the viral videos of the Friday incident, among the girls who surrounded and grabbed Ruchi Tiwari inside the Delhi University, was Gurkirat Kaur, the president of the radical left student group Bhagat Singh Chhatra Ekta Manch (bsCEM).
The clashes reportedly stemmed from an earlier flashpoint when ABVP students from the Barak Hostel burnt a Ravan effigy bearing the faces of controversial figures Sharjeel Imam and Umar Khalid.
The accused has been identified as Prasanna Raj, who is pursuing a Master's degree from the Centre for Political Studies (CPS). The incident took place on the rooftop of JNU's Chandrabagha hotel.
