New Delhi:The Jawaharlal Nehru University administration has filed a complaint with the police in connection with the 'vandalism' at the varsity's administration block.
Vice-Chancellor M Jagadesh Kumar said a complaint was filed at 11 pm on Thursday along with all video and photographic evidence.
Police said on Friday they had received a complaint and were examining it.
On Wednesday, students had painted various messages for the vice-chancellor inside the administration block as they barged inside the building to talk to him about the hostel fee hike.
Objectionable messages, mostly directed towards right-wing outfits, were found written on the pedestal of a yet-to-be-unveiled statue of Swami Vivekananda at the campus on Thursday.
Students of the varsity are agitating inside the administration block against the increase in hostel fees even as the JNU announced a partial rollback, which the protesters have dubbed an 'eyewash'.
