A Delhi University teacher was allegedly slapped and assaulted by students at Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar College on Thursday. The incident involved DUSU joint secretary Deepika Jha and other members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), according to faculty members.

Details of the Incident

A video of the assault was shared online. It shows a teacher being attacked by students inside the college. The police were present during the incident. The teacher, Sujit Kumar, is the head of the college disciplinary committee. He was looking into other cases of campus violence when he was attacked. Many Delhi University teachers spoke against this incident. They said it was an attack on teachers dignity.

Different Sides of the Story

Deepika Jha said she went to the college after students complained about Kumar. She claims Kumar threatened her and used bad language. Jha also said Kumar smelled of alcohol. She admitted to reacting in anger but said sorry for it. The Delhi University Teachers Association has asked the university head to look into this matter. They want strict action against those involved. Some teachers say this is part of a pattern of bad behavior by ABVP in Delhi University.
