Over 50 students detained from Delhi University during anti-CAA protest
New Delhi: Tension erupted at Delhi University’s Arts Faculty as Indian police detained approximately 50 students during a protest against the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in New Delhi.
According to the Kashmir Media Service, scores of students gathered near the Arts Faculty to express their dissent against the CAA, labeling it as “discriminatory and unjust.”
The protest, organized by students affiliated with the Left-leaning All India Students’ Association (AISA), aimed to oppose the CAA, which had been notified by the Centre.
A senior police official stated that some students were protesting near the Central Library of Delhi University (opposite the Arts Faculty) against the CAA. “They were removed from the location and taken to a police station. They will be released soon,” the official added.
Meanwhile, students at Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) also protested against the implementation of the CAA.
