On 27th November, AISA along with other organisations of Delhi University held a protest at the gate of the Vice Chancellor's office demanding immediate termination of the Principal of Shaheed Bhagat Singh College, Arun Kumar Attree. Since there has been a complaint filed by Sumit Chauhan, a Dalit student of SBSC of physical assault and casteist abuse, the police are yet to file an FIR. Even after ten days.
Students and teachers demanded that Attree be removed from a position which gives him access to tamper with evidence and inquiry. At the protest, AISA DU President Shantanu spoke, "We have filed the complaint more than a week back. The police are shamelessly delaying the inquiry giving enough time to Attree to play his move. We demand that he be immediately removed from his position of power which he is known to abuse."
Prof Abha Dev Habib, Faculty at Miranda House said, "our University has been surrendered to casteist lumpens who feel that they have complete immunity. We stand with Sumit and we will make an example out of Attree that DU will not tolerate casteism!" Prof Rudrashis Chakraborty, faculty at KMC said, "we salute Sumit and his brave fight against casteism. The VC must answer how Attree gets this liberty to do so to a student."
A delegation consisting of Prof Abha Dev, AISA DU President Shantanu and Sumit along with other students submitted a memorandum at the VC Office demanding the removal of Arun Kumar Attree from SBSC and aid in the police inquiry.
