Dragged Behind Car, Hit With Iron Rods

AISHE FILES ATTEMPT TO MURDER COMPLAINT

NEW DELHI: Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union president Aishe Ghosh, who was brutally assaulted by masked thugs and was left bleeding on Sunday night after the rampage inside the university campus, filed a complaint with the Delhi Police on Wednesday with respect to the incident, alleging that “a mob conspired and acted with common intention to assault, intimidate and attempt to murder me.” She requested that an FIR be registered and the culprits are apprehended at the earliest.

Ghosh, in her complaint at the Vasant Kunj (North) police station, said she had received information about students affiliated to the ABVP along with unidentified men and women who had gathered at Ganga bus stop with weapons. She added that she, along with Nikhil Mathew, an MA Labour Studies student, was at the spot when 20-30 people allegedly dragged her behind a car near the 24-7 and surrounded her. “Despite my pleading, they did not let me go and attacked me with rods while I had fallen down.”

“I was attacked by the above-mentioned persons collectively and was hit on the head multiple times with iron rods. I fell to the ground and my head started bleeding, and some of them kicked me and hit me with the rod on my hand and rest of the body including my head, chest, and back.”

Ghosh added that Mathew tried to save her but was also attacked in the process by the unidentified people.
