Jawaharlal Nehru University students, who are on protest against the draft hostel manual since last week, on Monday claimed that the administration had called paramilitary force inside the campus.
However, a senior police officer said the paramilitary personnel did not enter the campus and were stationed outside as a precautionary measure.
JNU Vice-Chancellor M Jagadesh Kumar urged students to resume their academic activities.
The students' union of the varsity organised a march inside the campus against the hostel manual, which had provisions for fee hike, curfew timings and dress code regulations.
After the march, they were supposed to go to Vasant Kunj police station to file a 'missing complaint' for the vice-chancellor. The students alleged that Delhi Police did not allow them to hold a "peaceful march" to the IIT gate.
"We condemn the way the matter is being sensationalised by the state and the media by deploying CRPF on campus," the students said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southwest) Devender Arya said, "A company comprising 80-90 paramilitary personnel was deployed at the varsity gate as a precautionary measure due to the protest over hostel fee hike. No policeman entered the campus."
