Aishe Ghosh responds
###
One of the named ‘suspects’, JNU students’ union president Aishe Ghosh on Friday accused Delhi Police of bias, saying she did not carry out any assault during violence at the campus on January 5 and had evidence that she was attacked.
###
Ghosh’s remarks came after Delhi Police identified nine suspects including her in connection with the vandalism and violence which had broken out in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus.
###
Addressing a press conference here, Ghosh said she has full faith in the law and hoped that the investigation will be fair.

“I will get justice. But why is Delhi Police biased? My complaint has not been filed as an FIR. I have not carried out any assault,” she said.

Office bearers of JNUSU had also met Ministry of Human Resources and Development (MHRD) secretary Amit Khare over their demands.
