Detailed Coverage
Delhi University’s North Campus recently witnessed an incident of vandalism at the students’ union office, prompting the administration to form a four-member committee. This decision follows serious allegations from both the ABVP and NSUI against each other.
The committee is headed by DU Proctor Rajni Abbi and includes Dean of Students’ Welfare Ranjan Kumar Tripathi, DUSU staff advisor Surender Kumar, and Joint Proctor Geeta Sahare. As per an official notification, “The Committee may submit the report at the earliest, preferably within 7 days.”
Allegations and Counter-Allegations
The ABVP accused NSUI members, specifically naming DUSU vice president Abhi Dahiya, of vandalizing the office. They allege that Dahiya and other NSUI members damaged the offices of DUSU president Tushar Dedha, secretary Aparajita, joint secretary Sachin Baisla, and the visitor room. They claim that Dahiya and his supporters consumed alcohol and then vandalized the property. The ABVP presented video evidence showing empty bottles and the damage.
The NSUI has denied these allegations and claimed that ABVP members attacked Dahiya’s office. Dahiya stated, “Last night, several ABVP members attacked my office at Delhi University. Their reaction comes after I exposed the fake degree of the ABVP office bearer and DUSU President.”
Police Investigation
A complaint has been lodged at the Maurice Nagar police station. DCP North M K Meena confirmed the receipt of the complaint, stating, “A complaint has been received at Maurice Nagar police station. Police will investigate the matter and act accordingly.”
The rivalry between the ABVP and NSUI has a long history at Delhi University. This latest incident adds to the ongoing conflicts between these student bodies.
The results of this investigation could affect the political atmosphere at the university. The administration’s quick action aims to ensure an impartial investigation and maintain campus peace. Both student groups are awaiting the committee’s findings, which could either clear or implicate key figures in this dispute.
DU move to establish an inquiry committee highlights its dedication to addressing conflicts fairly and keeping the campus safe for all students.
