A group of students held a protest demonstration for immediate reopening of the DU campus, where they raised slogans and asked the VC to hear the students' demands.

''As soon as the protest started, officials of DU called the Delhi Police and their guards, who immediately thrashed the students violently manhandling the protesters. The guards forced the students out of the VC lawns, injuring several people,'' the AISA alleged in a statement.

The march then moved to Gate No. 4 of the office and conducted a public meeting, it added. However, there was no official response from the university on the allegations.
