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.

2 men dragged for 300 metres by truck in Agra; locals save their lives
Agra, Dec 23: A truck driver dragged two people for about 300 metres in Agra under his vehicle, police on Monday said.
Some locals forced the driver to stop the truck and extricated the men from under the vehicle.
Police arrested the driver and seized the truck.
The two men, both residents of Nunhai in Agra, were going towards Rambagh from Waterworks when they met with an accident around 11 pm Sunday.
The driver, instead of stopping the truck sped up, trapping both of them underneath, police said.
"In the accident, two youths were dragged by a canter driver for about 300 metres. Later, some residents saved the youths by stopping the driver using force," Chhatta Police Station Inspector Pramod Kumar told PTI.
"The youths were sent for treatment at a nearby hospital and are still being treated, but are in stable condition. The youths were from Agra. The canter driver was arrested and the canter seized after the incident," he said.
A video of the incident that surfaced on social media showed the men shouting for help.
The video was purported to have been shot by a person passing by on a two-wheeler.
