"We have come here to demand justice for the Northeast student. All DU students are with the parents of Nido. Police should immediately arrest the culprits responsible for this brutal death. If police fail to do so, hundreds of students would launch a serious protest against the police," said Amrish Ranjan Pandey, a spokesperson of NSUI.
Pandey also said Delhi government should also ensure the security of Northeast student as there are hundreds of students from the region here. In this situation, government needs to come up with effective steps for their security, he added.
