More than 10 students of the Jamia Millia Islamia University were arrested by the Delhi Police on Tuesday after they protested against the disciplinary action initiated by the university against two PhD researchers. The students were agitating against show-cause notices sent to the two researchers on suspicion of conducting a protest in a staged manner last year.
The protest began on Monday with the students under the leadership of protesting against the "crackdown on student activism" of the administration. According to the students, the action of the university was meant to suppress the dissenting voice and stifle freedom of expression.
However, the university administration accused the protesting students of damaging university property, such as the central canteen, and shattering the security advisor's office gate.
Further charges have been made by the university administration against the agitating students. According to them, the students were found in possession of objectionable contraband material.
