One person was injured after firing was reported at Delhi's Jamia on Thursday. The firing was reported while the students were participating in an anti-CAA protest march in Jamia area of the national capital. According to reports, the person who had opened fire had chanted pro-Delhi Police and anti-Jamia slogans. He also shouted "Main Deta Hoon Azaadi" (I will give you freedom) as he opened fire. The injured person in the incident was shot in the hand and was identified as a student of Jamia Millia Islamia. He was rushed to a hospital immediately.

Jamia Coordination Committee (JCC) had organized a march against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC), from Jamia to Raj Ghat.

Recent media reports said the accused in the firing incident has been detained and interrogations with him are underway. Police are also investigating, as to how, the accused seen in a black jacket, made his way through the protest march with a pistol.

Commenting on the firing incident, an official of the Delhi Police said the incident was sudden and they are investigating the mishappening. There was, however, no word on the condition of the injured student.

The Delhi Police had denied permission to take out the anti-CAA protest march from Jamia Millia Islamia to Rajghat. After the women protesters announced their proposed march, Delhi Police were alerted to the plan.

Police had conveyed to the march's organizers in clear terms that permission would not be granted due to fears over law and order.
