After more than 30 people were hospitalised, JNU students union blamed the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad group, which is the youth wing of the ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party .
"Social media and CCTV footage will be part of the investigation," said police official Devendra Arya, adding the violence at the university had spurred police into launching a case. The Caravan reported that on the day of the attack: “there was an increased presence of Delhi Police on the campus. But nothing prepared the students for what followed in the evening and the extremes of fear and outrage left in its awake.”
Female students said that when the mob reached the girl’s dormitory, they called the police for help. But police personnel did not answer their calls, and they said the ones who did say they were coming, never showed up.
