ABVP members once again resorted to violence on Friday. And so did the administration. Not towards those who vandalised office property but a journalist trying to record the happenings for evidence.

Some members of the Right-wing students' party had come to meet the dean of students welfare around 2pm. When they came out, some of them broke flower pots outside the dean's office. Soon, they were joined by others.

All this while, a TOI reporter was recording the incident on her cellphone. Deputy proctor Swasti Alpana snatched her phone and threatened to lodge an FIR against her. She and the media at large were blamed for the "trouble" in the university though she had come to that office for the first time.
