Inebriated persons attempt to kidnap JNU students from campus, one caught

A day after a kidnapping bid by some inebriated men on the Jawaharlal Nehru University campus, a person was apprehended in connection with the case on Wednesday, the police said.

The JNU Students' Union (JNUSU) alleged that some inebriated men in a car entered the campus and attempted to kidnap two students on Tuesday night, following which two cases were registered based on complaints from students.

"Two complaints -- one regarding physical assault and another on molestation, attempt to kidnap -- have been received from JNU students. Cases have been registered," Deputy Commissioner of Police (southwest) Manoj C said.

"In both cases, the accused and the vehicle are the same and have been identified. Further investigation is on," he said.

A person, identified as Abhishek, has been apprehended based on evidence from the CCTV footage, a police officer said, adding that he is not a student at the university.
