After a brief respite, some female students of Delhi University (DU) from the Northeast on Monday alleged that they were forced to vacate the hostel and are facing racial discrimination.

The allegation came a day after the Union DoNER minister Dr Jitendra Singh had assured the north-eastern students of DU that they can stay back in the hostels.

The minister even tweeted that he had a talk with the DU vice chancellor and that the ‘matter was sorted out’.
