NEW DELHI: Over 10 Jamia Millia Islamia University students were detained by Delhi Police for protesting against the university’s disciplinary action against two PhD scholars, who were served show-cause notices for allegedly organising a demonstration last year, an official said on Thursday.
The protest began on Monday, with students condemning what they termed as the the administration’s “crackdown on student activism.”
The university claimed the protesting students vandalised university property, including the central canteen, and broke the gate of the security advisor’s office, forcing the administration to take action.
