Students Demand Justice: Protest Erupts Over Controversial Expulsions at Ambedkar University

The Students' Federation of India (SFI) staged a demonstration outside Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena's residence, protesting the expulsion of five students from Dr. BR Ambedkar University. Saxena serves as the university's Chancellor.

An official statement from the left-leaning student group identified Sharanya, AUD Student Council Treasurer; Shubhojeet, AUD Student Council Councillor; and Shefali, SFI Delhi State Committee member as among those expelled, alongside two others forbidden from re-admission.

The expelled students disclosed that their suspension followed the exposure of cyber-bullying and ragging incidents at the university, and they accused the administration of using severe measures in response to their activism. The students have sought intervention from the courts to overturn the expulsions.
