Slamming the Delhi police's investigation into the JNU violence, Congress on Friday has demanded that the Delhi Commissioner should resign after the police identified 7 JNUSU and 2 ABVP students as 'masked attackers'. Congress claimed that the police had failed to take cognizance of the role of ABVP in the attacks, terming the probe partial. JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh who has been named by the police has denied her involvement in the attack.

Outsiders' role highly unlikely: Police

ABVP and JNUSU blame each other

All CCTV recordings had been non-functional as they were Wi-Fi-based since the servers had been destroyed by a mob of JNUSU students including JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh in two attacks on January 3 and 4. Both student bodies - JNUSU & ABVP have claimed that the other student wing had attacked the students using iron rods, by entering hostels with the aide of 'masked mob'. 34 students and faculty members were admitted to AIIMS hospital - including JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh who was discharged from hospital on Monday.
