ABVP members held for assault on AISA activists

New Delhi: Two Delhi University students allegedly affiliated with Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) were arrested after they had got into a scuffle with three All

India Students Association

(

AISA

) activists near Chhatra Marg on Tuesday.

A police complaint was later registered by the AISA activists. ABVP, however, denied that the arrested duo — Prashant Sharma and Vinayak Mishra — are members of their organisation.

The complaint states that the incident happened around 3pm when the three DU students — Aman Kumar, Raj Singh and Utkarsh Bhardwaj — were returning from the protests. The youths said that they had stopped by the roadside to help Bhardwaj with an injection for his breathing problem.

Suddenly, a group of 7-8 youths coming from Patel Chest allegedly punched them and beat them with their belts during which they were injured on their eyes and shoulders. The youths alleged that the attackers also tried to strangulate one of them.

A group of policemen saw the incident, caught hold of the attackers and took them to Maurice Nagar police station. Later, the three AISA activists registered a complaint. They were taken to a hospital for a medico-legal report of their injuries.

DCP (north) Jatin Narwhal said that a case under IPC sections of

assault

and criminal conspiracy has been registered against the accused students and they have been arrested.
