The SRCC Staff Association has accused Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) President Ronak Khatri of misconduct and spreading a “malicious social media campaign” against the college. In a meeting held on Wednesday, faculty members unanimously condemned Khatri’s behaviour and demanded legal action, including an FIR, a campus entry ban, and intervention from the Delhi University Vice-Chancellor and Proctor.
Khatri, who belongs to Congress-affiliated NSUI, claimed he visited the college on March 11 to discuss the safety of stray dogs but was denied a fair hearing. He alleged that the Vice Principal refused to engage with him, misled students about her schedule, and later called the police to remove them.
In social media posts, Khatri accused certain faculty members of intimidating students based on political affiliations, questioning whether such groups “run the university.” He criticised professors who, according to him, suppress student voices.
Students have reportedly raised concerns about stray dogs since August 2024, using personal resources to vaccinate and sterilise them under the Animal Birth Control (ABC) program. Khatri further claimed that a dog was killed by a speeding vehicle and another was injured by a sanitation worker, highlighting what he called the administration’s neglect.
The SRCC Staff Association has also urged the administration to preserve CCTV footage from the day of the incident and escalate the matter to the cyber cell, intensifying tensions between student leaders and faculty at the prestigious Delhi University institution.
