Aligarh: The students' coordination committee of the AMU burnt an effigy of the varsity's dean near Baab-e-Syed gate and demanded police action against him for allegedly threatening students opposing the CAA. Former AMU Students' Union president and spokesman of the Students' Coordination Committee, Faizul Hasan has lodged a complaint with senior SP Akash Kulhari in this regard, the students' body said.

In the complaint, Hasan alleged that while AMU VC Tariq Mansoor was on Wednesday persuading protesting medicos to resume attending classes, newly appointed dean of Students' Welfare Mujahid Beg allegedly told them to be "thankful" as only hands of some of the students were broken in the police action on December 15 and "no one had been killed". Students of the Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College are boycotting classes as part of the continuing anti-CAA protest at the campus. The dean's remarks infuriated the agitating students, who felt that they were being threatened and pressured to call off their stir.
