Fourteen Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students have been released from custody following their arrest during last week’s protest march, marking what student leaders describe as a significant relief for the university community.
The released individuals include prominent figures such as JNUSU president Aditi Mishra and All India Students' Association president Neha. A Delhi court ordered their immediate release, recognizing the seriousness of assault charges but considering their future academic careers.
The arrests stemmed from a student march at Sabarmati T-Point, confronting university policies and Vice-Chancellor Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit's statements. Despite police closure of the university gates, student groups allege excessive force and continue their demands for educational equity and policy reversal.
