Police, students injured in clash during JNUSU protest march, over 50 detained

A protest march organized by the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) escalated into a violent clash between students and police, resulting in injuries to both parties. The confrontation took place as students marched to express their grievances over various issues affecting the university community. According to police reports, around 25 officers sustained injuries during the altercation, including senior officials like ACP Ved Prakash and ACP Sanghamitra. In total, over 50 individuals were detained for their involvement in the protest. This incident highlights ongoing tensions between students and law enforcement, particularly in the context of student activism in India, where protests have become a common means for students to voice their concerns about educational policies and campus issues. University authorities have yet to comment on the situation, which has drawn attention from various student organizations and civil rights groups, calling for an investigation into the police's handling of the protest. As the situation develops, stakeholders are urging for dialogue to address the underlying issues that led to the demonstration.
