Group of Jawaharlal Nehru University's (JNU) visually-impaired students, who called for a demonstration in front of Delhi Police Headquarters against 'the lathi charge of Delhi Police on the students of the university and demand for justice for persons with disabilities,' were taken to Vasant Kunj police station by police. Later they were taken to Police headquarters in ITO. The demonstration is scheduled in the front of the Police Headquarters on Jai Singh Road near the Parliament.
