Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD) has revoked the suspension of Mantasha Irfan, a final-year MA Global Studies student. Previously penalized for allegedly using derogatory language against Vice Chancellor Anu Singh Lather, Irfan's case has drawn significant attention.

AUD reaffirmed its dedication to academic discipline while addressing the situation.
