Chaos broke out during students' council elections at Delhi University's Gargi College on Friday (April 17, 2026), with rival groups trading allegations of misconduct, intimidation and attempts to influence the poll process.
Videos of the commotion have been circulating on social media, including one in which a presidential candidate is seen alleging mistreatment on campus during the election process.
In the video, the candidate claimed she was "treated disrespectfully" and physically pushed out of the college premises by teachers after they learnt her political affiliation.
She also alleged she was made to wait for hours and pressured into signing documents certifying that the student elections were being conducted fairly.
"The ballot boxes were not inspected prior to the election, and the voting process was initiated without obtaining my signature," she alleged in the video.
