An unusual scene unfolded at Delhi University’s Gargi College when a large group of students came together and reportedly chased away DUSU president Aryaman, accusing him and his associates of hooliganism and harassment on campus. Students raised slogans and recorded videos as Aryaman, along with several others, was forced to leave the campus amid growing tension. Security personnel were deployed on the spot to prevent any further escalation. Aryaman did not respond to calls from ANI seeking his reaction to the allegations and the incident.

Campus tension erupts amid election atmosphere
A student present during the protest alleged that the situation escalated in the backdrop of student council elections at the college. The student said, “A candidate who had been disqualified reportedly had the support of ABVP.
Aryaman arrived on campus with around 50-60 people. Despite police presence, they entered the premises and moved around, creating a ruckus and engaging in hooliganism. Students then came together and forced them to leave,” the student alleged.
Allegations of disruption and aggressive conduct
The Students’ Federation of India (SFI), Delhi University, issued a statement strongly condemning the incident and accused the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) of attempting to disrupt the election process. In its statement, SFI alleged that “goons affiliated with ABVP forcibly entered the campus and resorted to intimidation, harassment, and hooliganism.”
It further claimed that Aryaman, along with others, engaged in aggressive behaviour, allegedly attempting to heckle students and faculty members.
Questions raised over security response on campus
SFI also raised concerns over the role of the police, stating that the incident occurred in their presence and questioning their effectiveness in ensuring campus security. The statement added, “The students of Gargi College responded with courage and unity, resisting the disruption and asserting their right to a safe and democratic campus,” while demanding strict action against those responsible and a thorough inquiry into the matter. There has been no official response from the ABVP regarding the allegations so far.
