New Delhi:
Police said on Monday that Jamia Millia has been detained for allegedly attacking a Kashmiri woman in the national capital at Islamia University.
The alleged attack occurred on April 27 at 9:30 pm when a 24 -year -old MA student of the second year MA was allegedly attacked by 22 -year -old Mess Worker, who was identified as Abid.
A police officer said, “The accused was detained the same night. The student has not yet filed a formal complaint, but he is expected to do so today, after which an FIR will be lodged.” Police said a dispute arising out of a personal case.
According to a student group, the attack took place outside Gate 8 of the complex.
The university administration has not yet released the official reaction.
The All India Students Association (AISA) in Jamia condemned the attack, called it a serious security lapse.
He alleged that the incident was associated with the ongoing harassment by Kashmiri students after a terrorist attack in Pahgam in Jammu and Kashmir on 22 April, although the police said it was a different personal dispute.
AISA has criticized security staff, claiming that they stood during the incident and allowed the accused to enter the premises uncontrollably. “Despite having a heavy military military place, the university has repeatedly failed to ensure security,” AISA said. The group demanded a transparent investigation, strict action against the culprit and accountability of the security personnel involved.
The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) has released emergency helpline numbers and has formed a dedicated team to contact with students and officials.
26 people were killed in the Pahgam Terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir which took place in Baisaran Meadow. This was one of the most deadly attacks in the region since the 2019 Pulwama strike, claiming the life of 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Jawans.
