The student also disputed claims by the student outfit that the accused had been suspended two months ago, describing the purported resignation as backdated. In response, National Students' Union of India President Vinod Jakhar stated that the organisation condemned the incident and asserted that the accused was already suspended during the Delhi University Students' Union elections in September for anti-party activities.
The development has triggered sharp political reactions on campus, with rival student groups questioning the timing of the disassociation.
