India Today has accessed screenshots of the WhatsApp alerts which were sent to Vasant Kunj SHO Rituraj, another Inspector Sanjeev Mandal & Special Commissioner of Police Anand Mohan by JNUSU President Aishe Ghosh at 3 pm on January 5, apprising them about the presence of miscreants with weapons inside the varsity.

Screenshots of the WhatsApp alerts sent by the JNUSU President Aishe Ghosh to the Delhi Police officers reads "Sir, This is to bring to your notice that large number of students have gathered with weapons and sticks at the Administrative Block, near the statue and beating up students of the University. We request you to get these students removed immediately and take action against them".

Screenshots also show that SOS alerts sent by the JNUSU President were read by one of the three officers at 3:07 pm, and yet, it was not until 7:45 pm that additional forces entered the university.

One of the key findings in a Delhi Police report detailing sequence of events on the day of JNU violence says that for nearly four hours on Sunday, starting from 2:30 pm, more than 50 calls went to the Police Control room, which reported about masked miscreants beating students inside the varsity.

JNUSU President Aishe Ghosh in an exclusive interview to India Today said "I made several calls to the SHO of Vasant Kunj police station, sent SOS alerts when masked miscreants were first seen at the campus. If Delhi Police wanted, they could have saved the students and teachers from getting thrashed. But unfortunately that didn't happen."

The Delhi Police has claimed that it got a request to enter the campus only after 7 pm and that is when it did enter the campus. After what happened in Jamia Millia Islamia, they did not want to enter a university without a written permission from their administration.

On the other hand, JNU Vice-Chancellor M Jagadesh Kumar told India Today that "At 4.30 pm, when we came to know a group of students is aggressively moving in, we did send our security guards and they assessed the situation. It takes time for them to reach and assess and call the police. Several calls were made to the PCR and we even informed the police station after which they came."
