The Jawaharlal Nehru University has issued show cause notices to JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh and another student for a protest they held in 2018, calling it an act of "indiscipline and misconduct".

Reacting to the notice, Ghosh said despite the closure of several administrative offices owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, the varsity's chief proctor's office "has been regularly functioning to intimidate and punish students".
