A copy of the student’s complaint to the JNU’s chief proctor was circulated on social media even as the student refused to comment. Delhi police said they are in touch with the JNU authorities.

The incident is believed to have taken place after Indian’s win against Pakistan in the Champions trophy cricket match on Sunday. An ABVP student leader Saurabh Sharma, against whom the Iranian student had made the allegations confirmed that there was an argument but denied that the Iranian student was attacked.

“An issue is being created out of nothing here. We were celebrating India’s victory when the student in question came with a couple of friends and demanded what we were doing. He even used impolite words. All we did was ask him to go back to his room if he had a problem. We did not lay a finger on him,” Sharma said.

According to the Iranian student’s complaint, he was passing by the Damodar hostel D block when he spotted students bursting crackers in the corridor outside room number 1. The student has alleged that when a security guard objected to it, the students refused to pay heed and argued with the guard.

“I was just observing when they started arguing with me and one of them pushed me while Vinay (another student) punched me on the nose. It was a group of 10 people,” reads the complaint as circulated on social media. HT could not verify the authenticity of this.

The headlines do not reflect, what the article is saying.

On the face of it, it seems simple case of a college brawl.

Some students were celebrating the Indian win, another student(it is inconsequential to fight which countries he hales from) got in an argument for disorderly behavior in middle of the night and apparently got in a brawl.

what does Pakistan have to do with it?

And why are Pakistanis getting so excited about this?

I wouldn't be surprised if this happened in Modi's India. Such a feat is nothing compared to cows getting more respect than humans.

Thank you young Iranian on so many fronts!

Thank Iranian for supporting Pak while being in the Heart of Darkness.

Thank you Iranian for demonstrating that between the free people of Pak and Iran there is no bad blood.

Thank you young Iranian for highlighting once again the closeness of Persian and Pak Civilisation.

Thank you young man for demolishing this secterian narrative of sick minds...

Any my Iranina friend what the heck are you doing in india?

You should come to Pak or go to China... both places where you will be at home away from home.

https://timesofislamabad.com/irania...n-indo-pak-champions-trophy-match/2017/06/06/

Assume + guess 100% to feel better about... ya know... actual reality

Suspected (unconfirmed) college scuffle goes to "PRO PAK COMMENT"...its trollbait basically

What Pro Pakistan comment is this article talking about??

Maybe check the random social media and all its chinese whispers? Timesofislamabad knows! 5 star rating on credibility obviously.

There is no mention of Pro pakistan comment on whole article or pakistan anywhere except the mention of India pakistan match. A totally fabricated title and those who has developed a habit of getting excited from fake news are in loose once again.

"Fake news fake headline fake everything and tread created just so Pakistanis can have an excuse to troll India
@Slav Defence @Icarus
You guys gonna react or are you guys only good for banning Indians? Have some shame and at least pretend to run this form properly"

Well firstly, I didn't delete the said post. That being said, its a useless post that does not add anything to the discussion or rebuke it on the basis of facts so I would have deleted it too.

Instead of taking any action they just deleted my post. How retarded can the mods here get?
Is it any surprise this forum has such low quality when you guys run it like this?

You are under no compulsion to put up with us. Log out option can be found in the top right corner.

I guess that is the actual news.The university was not mentioned in the source called "Times of Islamabad" nor reference was presented of the actual news source.
Hence, after complain, this is the NDTV source news I have found:
Beaten By ABVP Men, Says Iranian Student In Jawaharlal Nehru University
The Iranian student was allegedly manhandled after the ICC Champions Trophy cricket match between India and Pakistan
Delhi | Reported by Tanima Biswas, Edited by Nidhi Sethi | Updated: June 05, 2017 19:55 IST

NEW DELHI: An Iranian student from Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University or JNU has alleged that he has been manhandled by two students associated with ABVP, the students' group linked to BJP, after a brawl on Sunday night. He has filed a complaint with the police and also with the university authorities.

Last night, the two students, Saurabh Sharma and Vinay Shukla, had burst crackers after India won the cricket match against Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy that's being played in England.


When the guards at the JNU's Damodar hostel objected, the students didn't stop and began to fight with them. When the Iranian student -- who wishes to stay remain anonymous -- went to see what the commotion was about, he got beaten up too, said his friend Faisal.

"The ABVP students shouted at him and asked him to leave. They also hit him," he said. "There was a joyous mood in the campus after the match and we all wanted to celebrate. But that doesn't mean you break rules and assault people."


The Iranian student, who is pursuing his PhD in bio-science, has filed a complaint with the university proctor. The administration said they will look into the complaint. "There was a minor scuffle. The matter was resolved immediately upon intervention of the warden. We request students to maintain peace on the campus," an official said.


Saurabh Sharma, who is also a member of the ABVP students' council, claimed he had been manhandled by a group of students, some of whom, he said, "could be foreign nationals".

"Abuses and physical assault on the campus during victory celebrations were uncalled for. The number of those feeling distraught at India's victory and Pakistan's loss has been on the rise in JNU," he added.

And miss out on the comedy you guys present under the illusion of running a serious forum? No thanks, I'll rather hang around I have a feeling I will be banned soon anyway, as I refuse to play by your rules of hypocrisy.

The biggest joke in this entire exchange is you. Either be a man and quit cold turkey to prove your point or quit bitching and carry on.
