Overview
- Video from the DU Arts Faculty shows a bucket of water hurled at Habib near Gate 4 during AISA’s People’s Literature Festival, with a dustbin thrown moments later.
- AISA alleged ABVP members staged a planned disruption to sabotage the programme, an accusation ABVP called completely baseless and misleading.
- Habib said the water fell on him but the bucket did not strike him, calling the incident unprecedented in his DU visits before continuing his speech.
- University officials said they have not received any complaint and indicated the administration would look into the matter.
- The student-organised festival spotlighted caste and equity debates, including calls to implement the proposed UGC Equity Regulations 2026.
