"We had initiated a complaint, but the police didn't register an FIR. We have also sent an objection to the government regarding the same," the VC said.

"Now we will move the court against this inaction as the police entered the campus without permission and hence, we want an FIR to be registered against them," she added.

She further clarified that she didn't issue any notice to vacate the hostels after the violence.

Akhtar also said that security has already been beefed up on the campus.

Meanwhile, in an official statement, JMI stated that the ongoing semester exams stood cancelled till further notice. The new schedule will be declared later.
