A day after an attempted screening of the BBC documentary on the JNU campus was followed by a power cut, stone-pelting, and a war of words between Left-affiliated student outfits and the ABVP, certain media channels amplified a poster released by a member of the latter, blaming 16 people for the violence, including a Newslaundry reporter.
The poster containing photographs of 16 people was shared by ABVP’s JNU president Rohit Kumar on January 25, and was aired on Times Now, India Today and India TV without verification.
