However, they had returned after they were shown evidence by the police in support of his arrest. Hamza Sufiyan, Vice Chairman of the Students’ Union said that they would meet district administration officials who had assured of Talib’s early release.

Some AMU students had allegedly harassed a Republic TV crew including a journalist named Nalini Sharma who was reporting live from the campus.
