On December 15, the police entered the university campus, after the protest turned violent. The cops detained around 100 students. According to reports, some miscreants started vandalising public property during the protest. Following this, Delhi Police attacked those miscreants, and in that course, they entered the JMI. One of the Jamia students, Minhajuddin, suffered an eye injury in the police action.

Nationwide protests erupted after the passage of the Citizenship Amendment Bill in Parliament last year in December. The CAA provides Indian citizenship only to non-Muslim migrants including Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Parsis, Jains and Buddhists who are victims of religious prosecution in neighbouring Islamic countries - Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. However, Muslim migrants have to undergo a normal procedure to get citizenship.
