“When I along with two others of AISA were distributing pamphlets about the varsity’s admissions procedures, ABVP activists manhandled me and threatened to kill us,” Banshi said.

However, Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) President and ABVP member Amit Tanwar said, “Three AISA activists teased a girl on the campus. We caught hold of one and warned him while others escaped.”
