The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has asked Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) President Ankiv Baisoya to resign from his post and also suspended him from the students' body till an inquiry into the allegations that he furnished a fake degree is completed, drawing criticism from the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) that the decision was taken under pressure ahead of the high court hearing.

The ABVP said it has asked Baisoya to step down as DUSU president and also relived him of all responsibilities in ABVP till the varsity completes the verification process. The ABVP said the decision was taken to maintain the "genuineness" of the DUSU. But the NSUI said this was clearly a decision taken under pressure ahead of the high court hearing on November 20.
