Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief Swati Maliwal took to 🦄Twitter, saying she is issuing a notice to the Delhi Police.

All about the incident
The police said 'Festival Shurti' in IP College for Women was gong on where an artist, Aseesꩵ Kaur, 🎐was to perform.
There was excess crowd. Around 3 pm, some overzealous students tried to enter the college. In the process, there was pressure on gates and some of the stude☂nts fell down while some others got injured, police said.
Seven people -- all Delhi University students -- have been detained and arrest will be made based on CCTV footage/ev🔯idences, they added.
An All India Students' Association (AISA) activist alleged that the men were heard chanting "Miranda, IP dono hamara (Miranda House and Indraprastha College both are ours)" and "Mirand✤a nahi chhoda to IP bhi nahi chhodenge (We didn't leave Miranda, we won't leave IP either)".
In October, some students of Delhi꧋ University's all-women Miranda House College alleged that several men scaled the boundary walls and the gates during an open Diwali fest on campus and indulged in "cat-♕calling and sexist sloganeering".
The AISA's Delhi University unit secretary and former Indraprastha College for Women (IPCW) student Anjali shared purported photos and videos of the iꦐncident.
In the photo, four men are seen standing near the IPCW boundary wall while another is scaling the💦 wall.
The video clip shows the police asking the college students to vacate the premises. "Today, IPCW's fest was going when drunk men climbed the wall𒁏s, forcefully entered the campus and harassed gender minorities. Men were chanting 'Miranda IP dono hama🧸ra', 'Miranda nahi chhoda to IP bhi nahi chhodenge'," Anjali tweeted.
Another student alleged🍃, "Miscreants entered the IPCW fest today and harassed several women students, injuring one. Delhi Police has simply escorted the goons out. We demand their immediate arrest."
