On the late evening of the first Sunday of 2020, masked people entered the university campus. The goons as reported then started vandalizing the hostel and brutally attacked the students along with the professor of the university who were protesting. Also, the student union president Aishe Ghosh was badly injured in the violence at the university. It is said that the masked people entered with rods, sticks and other weapons. As many as 23 students got injured with some of them suffering head injuries.
Many images of brutally injured faculty members and students, including professor Sucharita Sen and JNUSU president Ghosh, went going viral on social media. At least 20 students have been admitted to the AIIMS for their treatment
The teachers' dharna was attacked brutally and many teachers got injured. The administration has given them a free hand to beat up students and teachers at JNU. Free entry is given to sanghi workers to supply weapons and iron rods in the campus.#SOSJNU pic.twitter.com/Shm8XN40NQ

The violence in JNU against students and teachers is highly condemnable. Directed @DelhiPolice to take all possible steps in coordination with JNU Administration to maintain law and order & take action against the perpetrators of violence. The situation is being closely monitored

Many of the twitterati believe that the violence was done under the influence of the administration of the University since no outsider can enter the campus just like the masked people entered.The JNU administration feels great pain and anguish for the students who have sustained injuries in the violence that took place in JNU campus. The JNU administration strongly condemns any form of violence in the campus. pic.twitter.com/Quk3Zc7wN0

CPIM strongly condemns attack on students and teachers in JNU. #JNUSU president has been brutally assaulted. #ABVP goons have been resorting to large scale violence with support of the administration. Shameful.

Government officials and the celebrities condemn the act of violence on the JNU students and tweeted requesting immediate enquiry to put the involved people behind bars.What's happened is JNU is biblical- 50 odd goons still feared in JNU Campus, beating protesting students over fee hike.

Goons stand is clear and with the administration which obnoxiously hiked the fees at first place. https://t.co/DIlW0mOezf
Union Home Minister has spoken to Delhi Police Commissioner over JNU violence and instructed him to take necessary action. Hon’ble minister has also ordered an enquiry to be carried out by a Joint CP level officer and asked for a report to be submitted as soon as possible.
