The results were declared on Wednesday in the wake of the violence and raging controversy in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU).
About 20 odd people including JNU Students' Union president Aishe Ghosh and Professor Sucharita Sen were on Sunday injured after a huge number of people armed with sticks, rods and sledgehammers barged into the university campus, girls' hostel and carried out an attack at a time the students were protesting against the fee-hike.
