About 1,000 students and faculty from Jawarhalal Nehru University marched to a government office to demand the resignation of the school's vice chancellor, who some accuse of allowing the assailants armed with hammers, shovels and other weapons to ransack a university dorm and beat up students on Sunday.
After reaching the government office on Thursday, a splinter group of several dozen students decided to continue marching toward the president of India's official residence.
