DCP Joy Tirkey releasing photograph of JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh as one of the suspects in the JNU violence case.

The Delhi Police on Friday said it has identified nine people, including JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh, as suspects in the JNU violence case. Most of the other people identified so far by the police are members of Left-wing students organisations.

Addressing a press conference, DCP (crime) Joy Tirkey disclosed nine names and also released their photographs.

"Unfortunately the CCTV footages were not available to us as the server room was vandalised a day before. We have identified some people based on viral videos and other investigations," Joy Tirkey said.

DCP Tirkey said the police have not detained anyone so far. "We will serve notices to the identified people and ask them about their presence during the violence," he said.

He however said more names may be revealed in subsequent press conferences as investigation proceeds.

Meanwhile, responding to the development, JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh said, "Delhi Police can do their inquiry. I also have evidence to show how I was attacked."

The names disclosed today by the police are of those it suspects were involved in the violence at Periyar Hostel on Sunday afternoon. However, the police did not give much information whether they have identified any of the masked people who attacked students and teachers at JNU on Sunday evening.

In the violence that took in the evening, Aishe Ghosh suffered head injuries. Nearly 30 students and teachers were injured in the violence that marred the Jawaharlal Nehru University when a mob of several masked people stormed into hostels in JNU and attacked students and teachers with rods, sticks and stones.
