A shot was fired outside the Jamia Millia Islamia University in south Delhi once again. This is a third such incident in four days at the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) protest in the capital. Two suspects came on a scooter and opened fire outside Gate No. 5, but no one was injured. In a statement issued by the Jamia Coordination Committee (JCC), a group comprising students and alumni of the university said the attackers were on a red motorcycle.
