Amid bone-chilling cold in the national capital, a student at the Jamia Millia Islamia took off his clothes Monday morning to demonstrate protest against the Delhi police brutality at the University campus. He demanded stringent actions against the Delhi police personnel who assaulted the students protesting against the recent passage of the Citizenship Amendment Bill in the Parliament.
Several media and security personnel were seen appealing to the student to continue his protest with his clothes on. After much convincing by Imam, the student agreed to put on his clothes.
The protesting student said, "I want the police to beat me now as they did last night in the dark. Strict actions must be taken against the police personnel who were involved in the violence"
He also alleged that the police personnel had entered into hostels and assaulted female students. Shahzad told the media that his sister too studies in Jamia Millia Islamia University. To safeguard her, he has sent his sister elsewhere.
The development comes in the backdrop of violence between students of Jamia University and Delhi police on Sunday. Nearly 60 people including students, cops and firefighters were left injured as massive protests against the amended Citizenship Act broke out. Protestors torched four public buses and two police vehicles as they clashed with police in New Friends' Colony near Jamia Millia.
As many as 50 students were detained during protests, who were later released by the police.
