Three-member committee investigating, DTF demands action
The university proctor says a three-member committee is investigating the incident.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Teachers's Front (DTF) called this the third attack on faculty recently and urged stronger action.
DTF said this reflects a worrying decline in campus safety, asking Delhi University to step up efforts to protect teachers and demanding stronger and more decisive action to ensure the safety and dignity of faculty members.
