New Delhi: At least 20 DU teachers and students were injured following clashes which broke out between RSS-backed ABVP and Left-affiliated AISA in Delhi University’s Ramjas College on Wednesday over cancellation of a seminar invite to JNU students Umar Khalid and Shehla Rashid. Both were termed by some present as ‘anti-nationals’.

On Wednesday evening, the police dispersed the ABVP supporters and detained over 100 protesters from outside the college premises.

But all the detained students were let off by about 7 pm. Special Commissioner of Police (Southwest) Dependra Pathak said the SHO has been ordered to submit a detailed report on the incident and file an FIR in the case. He said three policemen were also injured in the clash.
