On January 5, 2020, around 100 masked people armed with rods, sticks, and acid attacked the campus of JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University) and injured more than 39 students and teachers. Eyewitnesses stated that police within the campus did not intervene to stop the mob.
A picture of the same had gone viral after the incident and one of them was identified as ‘Komal Sharma’. According to the Indian Express, Delhi Police said Komal Sharma is a student of Daulat Ram College and is a member of the RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). Further, even after her identification, Delhi Police have not arrested her to date.
According to Indian Express, Komal Sharma was questioned by a special investigation team of the Delhi Police Crime Branch in the second week of March 2020. However, Komal Sharma denied the claims and evidence against her and stated “That’s not me” and Delhi Police swallowed her words.
Today as we mark one year after the JNU violence, netizens have started raising questions on Komal Sharma’s arrest and JNU violence.
I am sure @navikakumar must have accessed Komal Sharma’s WhatsApp chat . and that’s the reason Modi’s cops haven’t been able to “ trace “ her . pic.twitter.com/sKI9nZ6kky

Missing person in India Komal Sharma, the goon who along with other puppets of ABVP attacked my beloved campus. @DelhiPolice no answers in one year? One year of right wing attack in JNU.

Rise in rage against the saffron terror in University spaces! ABVP’s terror on students must not be tolerated! JNU Admin & Delhi Police must ensure that assaulters like Komal Sharma who brutally assaulted students on 5th January 2020 don’t go unpunished!#1yearJNUAttack pic.twitter.com/PA4kF4vLVA

Where is Komal Sharma?
Identified & clearly caught on camera, police still finds itself unable to find her! #1yearJNUAttack pic.twitter.com/fMePLlQbO1— Divya Bhagat (@DivyaBhagat14) January 5, 2021
Law is always harsh on who had started scuffle first than those had retaliated or reacted in self defense. Law allows you to defend yourself if attacked & no case is registered if your version is found satisfactory & let off giving a statement to police. “Komal Sharma”

Why has no disclosure statement of Komal Sharma where she admits to the crime been released yet? https://t.co/Q3gIHcyDrF

Last year, on this day there was a barbaric attack on students and professors of India’s arguably the best university, #JNU. One year has passed, no action has been taken. https://t.co/xOIKU92RoT

While Anti-CAA Activists Umar, Sharjeel, Meeran, Asif, Khalid, Natasha, Devangana and many others continue to be incarcerated since months under fake anti-terror charges, the likes of Komal Sharma and her ilk who attacked JNU students on Jan 5 last year are free. #1yearJNUAttack
