What Happened Ruchi Tiwari, a journalist associated with the YouTube channel ‘Breaking Opinion’, was allegedly assaulted by a mob of nearly 500 individuals during a protest at Delhi University’s North Campus. The incident occurred on February 13, when Tiwari was covering a pro-UGC protest organized by left-wing student groups. She claims that the situation escalated after members of the crowd questioned her about her caste and identity. Why It Matters The attack on Tiwari highlights the growing tensions surrounding caste-related issues in India, particularly in academic environments. The protest was aimed at opposing the Supreme Court’s decision to stay the University Grants Commission’s 2026 regulations, which have been criticized for excluding general castes from protections against caste-based violence. Tiwari’s experience raises concerns about the safety of journalists and the potential for violence based on caste identity in public spaces. What’s Next Tiwari has reported the incident to the authorities, and an FIR has been registered. The incident has sparked discussions about the need for better protection for journalists and the implications of caste-based violence in India. As the investigation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the university and law enforcement will respond to ensure the safety of individuals in similar situations.
