Geeta Kumari, an All India Students Association (AISA) activist and former Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) president, has confessed that she was one of those who closed down the server room at the varsity. The server room at the JNU was vandalised a day before some masked men unleashed violence inside the campus.

In India Today's sting operation to unmask the JNU attackers, Geeta Kumari also confessed that she was involved in shutting down the university servers. The AISA activist is caught saying on camera that she was part of the group of protesters who were outside the server room on January 4.

Earlier, in an exclusive interview to India Today, JNU Vice-Chancellor Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar had claimed that January 5th's violence had its roots in what happened the day before. According to the V-C, the masked mob entered the campus on January 4, just 24 hours before Sunday's violence at the campus.

"What happened on 5th has its origins in what happened in the past few days, we have our CIS centre here, which houses the data centre. So one day before [JNU violence], a few students came with their faces completely covered and took control of the data centre. If the students were working for the right cause, why would they cover their faces?"

The JNU administration had alleged that the university's data centre was destroyed on Saturday, January 4.

The JNU V-C had linked the malfunctioning of CCTVs during Sunday's violence to the shutting down of data centre by the group of masked protestors.

The ABVP, too, had put out some videos alleging that it was the Left-wing students who had brought-in the masked protestors on the campus first.

The first video showed some masked students outside the server room and the second video showed a group of masked men allegedly lead by JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh entering the campus.

An FIR was been filed against JNUSU students for destroying the university servers.

India Today's undercover reporters spoke to AISA activist Geeta Kumari.

On camera, Geeta Kumari admits that she was involved in shutting down the university servers.

"It was January 4, my video which is doing the rounds is from 4th, the incident [JNU violence] happened a day after that," she said.

Reporter: Why did you close the server room?

Geeta Kumari: Our VC does everything online, sends love letter [slang] online, sends Happy Near Year online, sends warnings online, so we thought that he has exceeded everything, there are no exams, none of our demands has been met, he didn't even meet us, so we decided to close the server room so that the administration does not function.

The Left activist doesn't just confirm her presence in the video, in which she is seen sitting outside the server room, Geeta also admitted that she played a role in the shutting down of the data centre.

A confirmation from the Left that the servers were closed to hamper the work of the JNU administration.
