Gargi College Election Row Deepens After Alleged Forced Entry by DUSU Chief

Students and political groups now seek an independent probe.

Overview

  • Police and student accounts say DUSU president Aryan Maan and ABVP members allegedly forced their way into the all-women’s Gargi College following Friday’s student council vote, after security denied entry under rules that restrict male visitors.
  • A senior officer said police escorted the group out and reported no violence, and the poll concluded peacefully with no formal complaint filed.
  • A presidential candidate alleged she was pushed out by teachers, pressured to sign papers vouching for fairness, blocked from the hall, and that ballot boxes were not inspected before voting.
  • ABVP backed the candidate, accused the administration of bias, and demanded the election be annulled and re-held, while SFI called the entry hooliganism and AAP shared video questioning campus safety.
  • Calls have grown for an FIR and a time-bound independent inquiry, including a letter to the Lieutenant Governor, as the college administration has yet to issue a detailed public response and students stress that Gargi operates outside DUSU politics.
