ADVERTISEMENTWhen an event, "A Night of Resistance with Guerrilla Dhaba", was going on, some students raised slogans on Monday against the Supreme Court's denial of bail to Khalid and Imam. In the complaint sent to Vasant Kunj police station on Tuesday, JNU chief security officer Naveen Yadav named some students for allegedly raising slogans. The acts reflect wilful disregard for institutional discipline, established norms of civil discourse and the peaceful academic character of the university campus," it said.
