- On Monday night, Jawaharlal Nehru University sought registration of an FIR after students allegedly raised `provocative` slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah, which the administration called `highly objectionable, provocative and inflammatory` and said violated the JNU Code of Conduct.
- The administration said the programme's tone shifted after a judicial verdict on bail pleas for Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, after which some participants allegedly raised inflammatory slogans and a purported video surfaced.
- A programme titled `A Night of Resistance with Guerrilla Dhaba` was organised around 10 pm by students linked to the JNU Students Union, with around 30 present including Aditi Mishra, while security officials monitored the site.

- Students said the gathering marked the annual condemnation of the January 5, 2020 attack when a mob entered 3 hostels, injuring at least 28 people, including then JNU Students Union president Aishe Ghosh.
