New Delhi: A 25-year-old student from Jamia Millia Islamia was injured when a man, who identifies himself as Rambhakt Gopal, opened fire at a group of protesters on Thursday. He shouted "ye lo azadi" after shooting at the demonstrators and walked away waving the pistol above his head. The police personnel, who stood mute spectators the entire time, nabbed him only after he had shot at the students holding a peaceful rally against Citizenship (Amendment) Act.

The incident happened amid heavy police presence. The Delhi police detained him only after he had injured Shadab Farooq, a mass communication student of Jamia. Farooq was hurt in his left hand and was taken to AIIMS Trauma Centre.
