Trouble at NIT Srinagar: Here's what has happened so far

While it still remains unclear why students at the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Srinagar, were subjected to police violence, political parties have already started the mud-slinging game. 

The crackdown comes months after the controversy surrounding Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi, where student leader Kanhaiya Kumar and two others were arrested — and later released on bail — on charges of sedition. 

Jammu & Kashmir National Conference (NC) leader Omar Abdullah, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, among others, have all criticised both the state government and the Centre,  even as a two-member team from the Union HRD (Human Resources Development) ministry held a consultation with officials of the engineering institute on Wednesday.
