JNU में नक्सलियों, आतंकियों, दंगाइयों के समर्थन में भद्दे नारें लगाने वाले हताश हैं क्योंकि नक्सली खत्म किए जा रहें हैं, आतंकी निपटाए जा रहें हैं और दंगाइयों को कोर्ट पहचान चुका है pic.twitter.com/LiHmVR7rU6

Did the police enter or not?

No official statement has come from Delhi Police yet. According to sources, the viral video is being investigated. The identification process can go on.

Why does JNU's name come into controversies again and again?

JNU has been in the news earlier also regarding such matters. Sloganeering and protests are not new here. Many times these issues have become part of the national debate.

What could happen next?

Now the focus is on the administration. It remains to be seen whether the investigation progresses or not. Action is taken, or the matter goes cold. This latest incident at JNU again raises the question as to what should be the limit of protest on campus and whose responsibility it is.
