While multiple groups including the Jamia Coordination Committee, the JNU students’ union and other collectives such as the “Ham Bharath Ke Log” put out the calls for demonstration at the police headquarters at Jai Singh Marg, they did not take place. Some had called for demonstrations against “police brutality” while others had called them to urge for peace and de-escalation.
