Police initiated violence against us. KYS activists and SOL students were manhandled, assaulted and detained by the Delhi Police along with the employed goons of the University of Delhi," KYS activist Bhim Kumar said.
A senior police officer said though the police detained a few members of KYS, no force was used against them. The KYS also submitted a memorandum to Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh urging him to conduct open book exam for the second and third year students with both, online and offline, options.

The group said many students of the SOL and also regular college were “anxious” about offline exams. "This is highly problematic as these batches of students would be taking examinations in the physical mode for the first time without any grounding in this mode," it said in the memorandum.
