JNU Students Union Claims that CRPF Personnel Deployed on Campus

New Delhi: Confrontation between Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union (JNUSU) and administration took a new turn on Monday, with the vice president of the students’ body claiming that CRPF personnel had been deployed on the campus to put students behind bars, a charge rejected by the management. “JNU admin calls CRPF on the campus. Shame. JNU VC wants to jail 8,500 students,” said a message shared by JNUSU vice president Saket Moon along with pictures of CRPF personnel. Calls to the JNU registrar Pramod Kumar for a reaction on the claims went unanswered. But a senior official in the administration asserted that no CRPF personnel was on the campus, though deployment was made outside its gates to make sure that the university is prepared for any “emergency”. “There is no CPRF or police deployment in the varsity.’’ (IANS)
