JNU Says FIR Registered Over Slogans Against Modi and Shah

The late-night gathering shifted tone following the Supreme Court’s bail denial to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam.

Overview

  • Jawaharlal Nehru University said an FIR has been lodged after videos showed students chanting provocative slogans targeting the prime minister and the home minister near Sabarmati Hostel.
  • Administrators launched an internal inquiry and warned of disciplinary measures that could include suspension, expulsion or permanent debarment for those found responsible.
  • Delhi Police said it is collecting details in a preliminary probe, following earlier statements that no formal complaint had been received.
  • The university’s letter named several students, including JNUSU president Aditi Mishra, while Mishra said the slogans were ideological and not directed at individuals.
  • BJP leaders condemned the slogans and accused the Opposition of backing such acts, as Congress figures defended the right to protest but criticized the language used.
