A Delhi University Students’ Union member today filed a police complaint alleging someone had written “pro-ISIS” slogans on the walls of north campus.
“We have received a complaint and we are examining it,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Jatin Narwal told PTI.
Ankit Sangwan, DUSU secretary and a member of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), filed the complaint with the police after he was told by some students that the slogans were written on the walls of the Delhi School of Economics.

In his complaint filed at the Maurice Nagar police station, he said that he saw “I am SYN ISIS” written on the wall.
As per a report in Hindustan Times, the words ‘I am’ were written in pink and ‘SYN ISIS’ was written in blue.
This slogan means an organisation like ISIS should be supported, Sangwan said in his complaint.
He also claimed that other slogans like ‘Justice for Naxals’, ‘AFSPA’, ‘Azadi’, ‘LGBTQ’ were also written on the walls of the Department of Social Work.
