New Delhi, Nov 10: A Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student was fined Rs 6,000 for cooking and eating biryani near the Administrative Block in the campus. Three other students of the JNU were also slapped with fines ranging between Rs 6,000 and Rs 10,000 for being involved in the ‘serious act’. The administration has given a deadline of 10 days for paying the fine, failing which more stringent action would be taken.
In an official order, issued by the Chief Proctor, Kaushal Kumar, the JNU administration said, “In the proctorial enquiry you have been found guilty of being involved in cooking food (biryani) near the stairs in front of the Administrative Building and eating it thereafter along with other students… This act is serious in nature, unbecoming of a student of JNU and calls for strict disciplinary action.”
