A CCTV video of violence and police action in Delhi’s Jamia Millia Islamia university went viral last week.
This footage was allegedly given to a TV news channel by the Special Investigation Team of Delhi Police. It is clearly visible in many frames of the video that a student has a purse in his hands, and not a stone, as has been claimed by multiple news outlets. The claim has been used to cast aspersions on many of the students who have been hurt in the police action inside campus.
The Wire’s Srishti Srivastava talks to students and the administration on what really happened.
