Delhi Police files FIR in firing incident outside Jamia Millia University
New Delhi/IBNS: The Delhi Police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) in connection with the latest incident of firing which took place outside Jamia Millia University on Sunday night, media reports said.
ACP Jagdish Yadav said as quoted by Times Now, "Statements have been recorded. On their basis, FIR has been registered under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) Section 307/34 and Section 27 of the Arms Act."
Two unidentified men allegedly fired outside Gate No 5 of Jamia Milia Islamia University late on Sunday. No injury was reported.
The incident took place a day after a man fired at Delhi's Shaheen Bagh, where several women as well as men are protesting against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), and two days after a teenager had opened fire at the protestors outside Jamia in presence of a huge number of police.
While no one was injured in Shaheen Bagh, one journalism student was hurt outside Jamia on Thursday.
The incidents of firing took place after several Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders called for "shooting" the "traitors" in attack on the anti-CAA protestors, mostly at Shaheen Bagh.
Union Minister and BJP leader, Anurag Thakur, was banned by the Election Commission from campaigning for Delhi assembly elections for 72 hours after he led the crowd to chant, "shoot the traitors".
In a recent remark, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and firebrand BJP leader, Yogi Adityanath, said, "If words won't work then bullets will."
