On social media, a section of Jamia Milia Islamia is raising this question after a video showing police baton in the library.

On the night of 16 February, the Jamia Coordination Committee shared a video of police violence in the library on 15 December.

This video is of MA, MPhil section reading hall on the first floor. But in this video, the boy seen in a blue sweatshirt is being discussed very well.

Some people are calling this boy a ‘stoner’ and also questioning his attitude.

Who is seen in a blue sweater?

Started searching for the boy who is seen in the front of the video. After contacting many people, we came to know that he is Jamia’s research scholar.

According to the boys of Jamia, the (Name of the Boy is not being written due to security reasons) in the video, although he is avoiding the fear of the police, the media has reached. The student in the video is a PhD first-year student in civil engineering. Earlier, he did MTech from Jamia. He hails from Patna, the capital of Bihar and lives in a rented house in Jamia Nagar.

He said that he wants to stay away from the police, but as soon as we asked about the allegations facing him, he went on answering in a systematic manner.

On covering his mouth with a handkerchief, he says, “Actually, the police were dropping tear gas shells. When I came to the library, some children were wandering around restlessly because they were having trouble breathing. Police constantly Tear gas was being released, it was difficult to breathe. “

“If this is the case, the police have also covered their mouths in the video. Why did they do this? It is not that in the video it is just that I have covered my mouth and nose. Like me, the police were covering their faces and killing us. It is very easy to be called ‘stone balls’. Our eyes and skin were also burning due to tear gas. “

“See my family is upset since the video came. They are thinking that I should not have anything. I also did not want to say anything on this, but now I am being targeted.”

Why is the book in front closed?

The student tells that, “I went down from the library to offer prayers in the evening that day. I had been sitting in the reading hall since two in the afternoon and did not even participate in the demonstration.”

“The green book that is placed in front of me is mine, it is a non-tech paper in engineering service. It is a book. If I had escaped and come from outside, I would have sat with a book of my own subject and had I got that book Even remember the name of the library? The library gate was closed but the police were breaking that gate. “

“As soon as there was a loud noise at the door you can see that some children started hiding in the corner and we also started looking towards the door. When you know the outside environment is bad and the police are beating the door, then you book How to keep reading. “

You were looking at the door as if you already had the news of the arrival of the police. In response to this question, he says, “When the police were coming up from below (ground floor), everyone had closed the door of the library itself. When the police were breaking the gate, the condition of all the students deteriorated. We did not hide under the table because we thought that we were studying and that the police would leave us after we read peacefully. “

“My phone was off or else I would not have been there. My friends were calling me so that I could tell that the police were coming to the reading hall and I could leave. But it was written.”

The picture of the old MA-Mphill reading room, whose video is going viral, is actually another hall on the ground floor below the hall where the video has surfaced where the police had entered.

In such a situation, those students say that they feared that the police might come to their reading hall. That is why all the students saw in the video we’re looking towards the door.

“Many children came to our hall from the hall which is on the ground floor. The police had beaten more students there. After seeing all this, we closed the door.”

We saw the library where the video has surfaced. All the mirrors in the library are broken. When I peeped inside the broken windows, I saw broken and cluttered chairs. The main gate of the library is locked and written on a green board.

At the same time, India Today has allegedly found an exclusive video in which many students are fast entering the reading hall and a student also has a stone in his hand, after which the students are putting the table in front of him to close the door.

A section on social media is justifying the police action after this alleged video of Jamia Milia Islamia’s reading hall appeared. However, this video is before the police action or there is no confirmation of it later.
