The Delhi Police have registered an FIR against 21 individuals, including 17 students from Hansraj College, for their involvement in violent incidents during the college's annual festival on April 9. The college administration alleged that a group of 50-60 individuals, including outsiders, formed an unlawful assembly and entered the campus with weapons, leading to a brutal assault on a student. In response to the violence, the administration suspended around 30 students and formed a disciplinary committee to investigate the matter. Protests erupted outside the college as students demanded the revocation of the suspension orders, arguing that the college's actions were unjust and undermined campus democracy. The college principal, Rama Sharma, emphasized the institution's zero-tolerance policy for violence and stated that the administration had acted based on a detailed review of CCTV footage and the findings of the disciplinary committee.
