On January 7, Ashish Chauhan, national secretary of RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), tweeted photographs of Soori Krishnan, an activist with CPI’s student wing Students’ Federation of India (SFI). Chauhan suggested that Krishnan faked sustaining injuries during violence in JNU on January 5-6. In two of the photographs, Krishnan can be seen with bandages on his head and both arms which are absent in the third image.<\/p>\n

Pandit was earlier found<\/a> retweeting a video which was shared with the false claim that Left parties in JNU attacked ABVP members when in fact the video showed an ABVP student assaulting a member of CPI (ML)-affiliated All India Students Association (AISA).<\/p>\n

FALSE CLAIM<\/h2>\n

In a video statement shared with Alt News, Soori Krishnan shows his wounds thus debunking the false claim that his injuries were not genuine. He claimed, “I was attacked by eight ABVP goons in front of Periyar hostel in JNU. They beat me with iron rods and I am going to show you the injuries I have right now.”\u00a0<\/em>Krishnan showed four injuries on his head, two of which were given sutures. He also asserted that he hurt his arms. “I can move my left arm but my right arm has swelling and I have a severe contusion on my shoulder due to which I cannot lift my arm.”<\/em> Krishnan further explained the absence of bandages on his head. “Because of the suture tins, they [doctors] said I don’t need to cover my head. I had the covering on my head initially because there was profuse bleeding. Once the bleeding stopped they asked me to not cover my head.”<\/em><\/p>\n
