Azim Premji University files police complaint against reading circle members, student council opposes ‘asymmetry in outcomes’ after vandalism

Hours after ABVP activists allegedly trespassed into Azim Premji University (APU), assaulted guards, vandalised property and created a ruckus to protest against a discussion being held on the campus, the Registrar of the varsity filed a complaint with the police against Spark Reading Circle, a social media page, and sought action.

According to a complaint lodged at the police station at 11.30 p.m. on February 24, the chain of events began around 4.30 p.m. when certain members of the media shared a social media post that was being circulated online.
