ABVP members thrashed me: DU AISA head
New Delhi: All India Students Association (AISA) head at Delhi University on Thursday alleged that she was manhandled by several male students at Satyawati College during a programme on women's safety.
Kawalpreet Kaur, the AISA chief, alleged that the group from Satyawati, consisting of BJP youth wing ABVP members tried to sabotage her speech on Thursday by raising slogans against her and her group.
They threw her phone away when she tried to capture the attack on camera, Kaur said.
"When the talk was about to get over, many Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad members gathered in the auditorium and started disrupting the event.
"They manhandled the professors and were after me and when police came to rescue me they asked them -- Where are you taking her? We will take her life," Kaur was quoted in her message on Whatsapp groups as saying.
One of the eyewitnesses said it began with hooting during her speech. "A group of students started hooting and howling during the speech but teachers brushed it off saying students do such things. Soon after, some 15-20 people came inside and started raising slogans against Kawalpreet. When she was being taken away by the police, one of them even said we will take her life," the eyewitness told.

Air India orders probe into video of former cabin crew sitting in aircraft cockpit
New Delhi (PTI): Air India has started an internal probe regarding a video showing a former cabin crew member seated inside the cockpit of an airborne aircraft.
"We are aware of a video circulating on social media that shows a former Air India cabin crew member seated inside the cockpit," the airline said in a statement on Tuesday.
In the video, widely shared on social media, the cabin crew in uniform is sitting in the cockpit of the aircraft and another person is recording the cabin crew, inside of the cockpit and the outside view.
A source said the cabin crew member left the airline last month.
"While we are verifying the authenticity of the video, we have initiated an internal investigation to establish the facts and circumstances surrounding the video," the airline said.
Air India also said that it would take appropriate action based on the outcome of the investigation to ensure complete adherence to all safety and operational protocols.
Cabin crew are not allowed to sit in the seat of pilots or cockpit crew, especially when an aircraft is airborne.
"Air India has strict protocols governing access to the cockpit, and any deviation from these standards is treated with utmost seriousness," the airline said.
