JNUSU president Mohit Pandey said that all essential facilities i.e. food and water were made available to officials confined in Administration building.

Six days after MSc first year student Najeeb Ahmed went missing from the campus the situation got more critical after students from JNU Student Union held University's Vice-Chancellor and other officials in the administrative block hurling their protest against management for not meeting their demands.
