DELHI: A professor of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) alleged that his car was vandalized by an unknown person at his house last night. Professor Buddha Singh claimed that he was targeted after the condolence meet organized by him for the Sukma and Kupwara Martyrs.

The condolence meet was held at the university’s Sabarmati Dhaba. About 400 people gathered at the meet to pay respect to the victims who died in the Sukma and Kupwara attack.

“I've been targeted because I was the organizer and first one to conduct such meet at the varsity for the first time. My car has been vandalized and windows also broken” said Buddha Singh who teaches computer science at JNU.

However, Mohit Pandey president JNU student Union said’ “The event was successfully attended by all the JNU students and faculties. The professor himself is creating this entire unnecessary issue to create controversy and malign the name and fame of JNU”.

The incident happened in the mid-night at around 11 pm at Singh’s residence at Periyar Hostel on Friday. A complaint has also been registered at the Vasant Kunj police station by Singh.
