Jamia Violence: Delhi Cops File Chargesheets Against 20 Accused

New Delhi: Delhi police have filed chargesheets against 20 accused in the violence at Jamia Milia Islamia University on December 13 and December 15.

Police also said that the attacks were well-planned as the protesters were armed with stones, lathis and petrol bombs.

“They burnt tyres and threw them towards police. The CAT ambulance, passing through university road with a patient inside, was also damaged. This unlawful crowd in different groups entered the campus on both sides of the road and started pelting stones on the force,” advocates appearing for police told the Delhi High Court on Thursday.

“The intention of the mob was to disrupt law and order in the area,” the advocates said while replying to six pleas seeking no coercive action against the accused students of the varsity.

Police investigation has also revealed the involvement of local leaders and politicians in inciting the violence, Hindustan Times reported.
