Elaborating on the investigational proceedings, Dr. Joy Tirke, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP)-Crime, said that three cases have been registered till now. "JNU administration decided to go for online registration of students from Jan 1-5. JNU Students' Union, including Students Front of India (SFI), All India Students Federation (AISF), All India Students Association (AISA) and Democratic Students Federation (DSF) were against it," the DCP said, adding, "Even though a large majority of students wanted to register, the mentioned groups and their sympathizers were not allowing students to do the same."
