After a CCTV footage released by the Jamia Coordination Committee accusing the Delhi Police of entering Jamia's library and assaulting students, the Jamia Millia Islamia administration pulled itself from the releasing of video.
Ahmad Azeem, Public Relation Officer of Jamia issued a statement and said, "It has come to our notice that some video with regard to police brutality in Dr Zakir Husain Library of the Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) is in circulation. This is to clarify that the video has not been released by the university."
The video was released by the Jamia Coordination Committee (JCC), a group comprising JMI students and alumni. The group was formed after the alleged police brutality on the campus on December 15.
As per Azeem, JCC is a joint coordination committee of students and alumni of the university, and the organization is the flag bearer of the stir against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act the National Population Register (NPR) and the National Register of Citizens.
"This is to clarify that JCC is not an official body of the university. Any communication from JCC should not be taken as a version of the university" Ahmad Azeem added.
