New Delhi,DEC 16: As many as 50 students, who were detained during protests at the Jamia Millia Islamia University here on Sunday, were released in the early hours of Monday, police said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of the 50 students, 35 were released from the Kalkaji police\nstation and 15 from the New Friends Colony police station, a senior police\nofficer said. The DMRC officials said entry, exit gates at all metro stations\nopened and normal services were resumed at all stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier on Sunday night, the Delhi Minority Commission (DMC)\nissued a direction to the SHO of Kalkaji Police Station to release the\n“injured” Jamia students held there or take them for treatment at a\nreputed hospital without any delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The commission also directed the officer to file a\ncompliance report by 3 pm on Monday. In the order, DMC Chairman Zafarul Islam\nKhan said failure to implement it will attract appropriate action. Protesters\ntorched four public buses and two police vehicles as they clashed with the\npolice in New Friends Colony, near Jamia Millia Islamia, during a demonstration\nagainst the amended Citizenship Act on Sunday, leaving nearly 60 people\nincluding students, cops and fire fighters injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police used batons and teargas shells to disperse the\nviolent mob, but denied firing at them. However, videos of purported police\nfiring, injured students in the university bathroom as well as footage of them\nbleeding emerged on the social media. But Delhi Police refuted reports of any\ncasualty during the clashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the arson on roads, police entered the Jamia\nuniversity campus, where tension prevailed as several persons were detained for\nalleged involvement in the violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
