Deputy commissioner of police (southeast) Rajesh Kumar Deo said the police control room received a call at 8.25 pm on Friday about a quarrel at the university’s gate number 13.

Deo said the university administration has been directed to ensure that outsiders do not enter inside the campus and vitiate the environment. “A case under section 308 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) and rioting has also been registered at Jamia Nagar police station. Teams have been formed to catch the accused,” he added.

When contacted, JMI chief proctor Atiqur Rahman said the matter stemmed from a small quarrel between a few students, and has been resolved. “However, we are looking into the matter and will take necessary action soon,” he said.
