New Delhi: JNU students protesting the violence on the university campus tried to march towards the Rashtrapati Bhavan on Thursday after a failed meeting with HRD ministry officials, but were stopped and later detained by police with some of them receiving injuries as they were roughed up when the cops put them in buses and autorickshaws.

The scene unfolded with JNU students' union president Aishe Ghosh giving a call for a march towards the President of India's residence when the meeting between a delegation of students and teachers unions, and the Human Resource Development Ministry did not turn out to be satisfactory.
