Aishe Ghosh, president of JNU Students Union, was seen bleeding from her head in a video and was heard saying, “I was brutally attacked. I am bleeding and not in a condition to talk.”

The Left-controlled JNUSU and the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) have blamed each other for the violence that continued for nearly two hours.
