Recent protests at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) have once again brought campus politics and student movements to the forefront. During the demonstrations, police detained several key figures affiliated with the student union, leading to significant anger among students and faculty. Fortunately for those affected, they have since been granted bail. The arrests highlight ongoing tensions regarding various issues on campus including fee increases and student rights.

The detained student leaders are seen as influential figures in the university's student politics, active in voicing concerns over administration decisions and advocating for students' rights. They were reportedly arrested on charges of disturbing public order, which has led to a broader discussion about the freedom of expression and assembly in educational institutions under increasing governmental scrutiny.

Among those arrested were Aditi Mishra (President of JNUSU), Gopika Babu (Vice President of JNUSU), and Danish Ali (Joint Secretary of JNUSU). Aditi Mishra, in particular, is recognized for her strong voice in advocating for student issues at JNU, an institution renowned for its history of political activism. This incident not only reflects the current political climate within JNU but also raises important questions about student rights and the role of law enforcement in educational spaces.
