Students at the all-women Miranda House of Delhi University have alleged that about 20 men, allegedly affiliated with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), linked to BJP’s ideological arm Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), barged through the college gates and created a ruckus on the campus, shouting slogans and allegedly harassing the female students.

The incident took place on Monday morning amid the ongoing campaigning for the Delhi University Student Union (DUSU) polls scheduled to be held on September 22. The polls are being held after a gap of three years.

A video circulating on social media showed a large group of people entering the campus. The AISA, which protested in solidarity with the Miranda House students, alleged that the ABVP members, who did not have permission to enter the campus, entered and passed lewd comments at the female students.

“About 15-20 ABVP men entered the campus, along with the candidates campaigning for the DUSU elections. They started cat-calling and harassing the college students. When we got the information, we called for a protest in front of the principal’s office. Our demand was that an FIR be lodged on behalf of the college,” says AISA DU Secretary Anjali Sharma.
