Hansraj College suspended students linked to fest violence and those who opposed the alleged use of campus for the Principal’s son’s wedding. The move has triggered protests over dissent and disciplinary action.
New Delhi: Delhi University’s Hansraj College has suspended multiple students amid an escalating campus controversy that began earlier this year over the alleged use of college premises for the Principal’s son’s wedding and has since widened into disputes over fest management, disciplinary action and student dissent.
The latest action has triggered protests on campus, with students claiming that those who questioned administrative decisions are being targeted. The college, however, has said the suspensions were based on misconduct, indiscipline and actions that harmed the institution’s academic environment.
Students suspended; who were they?
According to notices issued by the college, several students have been placed under interim suspension with immediate effect. One set of suspensions involved students allegedly linked to violence and disorder during the annual fest held on April 8 and 9, along with another reported incident on April 15.
