NSUI’s Anas Khan Suspended Over Allegations of Offering Incentives to Female DU Students for Diljit’s Ahmedabad Concert

Delhi: Delhi University’s Ramanujan College has suspended third-year student Anas Khan over allegations that he offered female students, including freshers, money, gifts and other incentives to travel to Ahmedabad for a Diljit Dosanjh concert.

Khan, a BA (Hons) Hindi student in Semester V, has been suspended until February 1, 2027, under an order issued by the college on November 6. The decision followed a review of the complaint, Khan’s response and the findings of a preliminary inquiry conducted by the college’s proctorial committee.

According to the suspension order, the complaint alleged that Khan attempted to persuade female students to travel to Ahmedabad for the concert by offering monetary benefits, gifts and other incentives.

During the suspension period, Khan will be barred from participating in regular academic and extracurricular activities at the college. However, considering that he is in his third year, the institution has permitted him to appear for scheduled university examinations.

He may also visit the campus to complete pending internal assessments or assignments, subject to prior permission from the proctor.

The college has directed Khan to submit a written undertaking acknowledging the seriousness of the disciplinary action and assuring that such conduct or indiscipline will not be repeated. It has warned that any recurrence or involvement in another serious disciplinary violation could invite stricter action, including termination from the college, following due process.

Khan was associated with the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) and had contested the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) elections as an NSUI-backed candidate.

However, NSUI has distanced itself from Khan, stating that it suspended him on September 12, during the DUSU election period, over alleged anti-organisational activities and indiscipline.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the student organisation condemned the alleged misconduct and clarified that Khan was no longer associated with it or permitted to participate in its activities.

The NSUI suspension communication cited alleged anti-organisational activities during the students’ union elections as the reason for the action.

Meanwhile, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has demanded a fair, transparent and time-bound investigation into the allegations, calling for strict legal action if they are established.

In its statement, ABVP referred to alleged WhatsApp messages circulating on social media. It claimed the messages suggested that Khan had offered to arrange concert trips and other facilities for female freshers, reportedly including students aged 17-18, in exchange for spending time with certain men and facilitating financial benefits.

The organisation said the authenticity of the messages and the allegations should be established through a proper investigation. DeshGujarat
