Delhi Police takes cognizance, says ‘will investigate it’
Special Commissioner (Crime) Praveer Ranjan on Sunday told ANI, “We have taken cognizance of the latest video of Jamia Millia Islamia University (library) which has surfaced now, we will investigate it.”
Delhi Police had earlier said they had entered the campus because there were goons amid students who were pelting stones and indulging in violence. “We were trying to protect other students from violence, hence we had to shell tear gas inside the library.”
The post was retweeted by various members of the Twitterati
CCTV footage has emerged showing police assaulting Jamia students without provocation. Horrifying. Exemplary punishment must be levied on these lawless policemen. https://t.co/3AXhSuKf7A

देखिए कैसे दिल्ली पुलिस पढ़ने वाले छात्रों को अंधाधुंध पीट रही है। एक लड़का किताब दिखा रहा है लेकिन पुलिस वाला लाठियां चलाए जा रहा है।
गृह मंत्री और दिल्ली पुलिस के अधिकारियों ने झूठ बोला कि उन्होंने लाइब्रेरी में घुस कर किसी को नहीं पीटा।..1/2 pic.twitter.com/vusHAGyWLh
