Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students on Wednesday protested against the Delhi Police at their headquarters in ITO. The protest was on the alleged beating of visually impaired students during their agitation on fee hike. 

Speaking to a media agency, a student said, "A blind student of the university was beaten with lathis by police on Monday. The police also told him that if he is blind then why did he come to protest. This was insensitive on part of the police."

"We are protesting over this and we want police to apologize for this," the student said.

JNU visually impaired students say not being allowed to protest outside police HQ

New Delhi: A forum of Jawaharlal Nehru University's visually impaired students on Wednesday said they were not allowed to go towards the police headquarters to protest against the "police lathi charge" on varsity students protesting against hostel fee hike.

Members of the JNU Visually Challenged Students Forum were going to Jai Singh Road to protest outside the new police headquarters. However, they said, their bus was stopped and taken to Vasant Kunj police station.

Later, they said their bus was being brought to the old police headquarters at ITO.

The forum had condemned the "police lathi charge" on visually impaired students during the protest on Monday over the hostel fee hike by the JNU administration and had demanded an apology from the police in the matter.

Police had denied baton charging the students.
