Three weeks after police brutality on the students of Jamia Millia Islamia and Aligarh Muslim University on December 15, 2019, armed mobs laid siege on Jawaharlal Nehru University, targeting student leaders and destroying property and vehicles on the campus. As JNU students relayed news of the assault live via their social media accounts, civil society sprang into action, only to be stopped at the main gate of the university by another mob shouting slogans against the students of JNU.
