Enrages by Republic TV's shoddy reportage on Thursday's Jamia shooting, close to 20 people, including students, gathered outside the channel's main office in Lower Parel for a peaceful protest. However, they were hauled away by the police already stationed outside the building in the Kamala Mills Compound.

After the shooting by a minor in Delhi's Jamia Nagar in the afternoon, Republic TV reported that he was one among the anti-CAA protesters. "Jamia protester uses gun", "protester turns violent" flashed on the screen. The shooter was not participating in the protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. But Republic portrayed him as "the real face of anti-CAA protests" for close to half an hour. This irked several Mumbaikars who, through WhatsApp, called for an impromptu protest at 11 pm outside Wadia International Centre, where the channel is housed.
