A shot was fired at gate No. 5 of Jamia Millia Islamia University in south Delhi on Sunday night, according to news agency ANI. Two suspects, one of them wearing a red jacket, came on a scooter, the Jamia Coordination Committee that is participating in the protest against the amended citizenship law said. No one was injured, they said.
Sunday night's firing was the third in Delhi in four days at an anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) protest.
The police said some students told them that a shot was fired at the university gate, 2 km from Shaheen Bagh, where protesters have set up a tent on the road and dug in for nearly two months in protest against the CAA.
People in small numbers have also been gathering around the university gates at night in protest against the CAA.
In mobile videos tweeted by people at the university gate, people could be seen running for cover under the dim glow of streetlights after hearing the alleged gunshot.
Police officers at Jamia Nagar went to the place and searched the area. No empty bullet shells were found there. Also, there were different versions about the vehicle in which the alleged miscreants came. Some said it was a scooter, others said it was a four-wheeler. Many people, including students, have gathered outside the police station. They will be asked to give a complaint. We will conduct a probe," said senior police officer Kumar Gyanesh.
On Saturday, just three days after a teen shooter fired at protesters at Jamia Millia University, another man fired shots standing near police barricades put up at Shaheen Bagh. He was caught by the police.
