New Delhi, Jun 25 (IANS): On a day Jamia Coordination Committee member Safoora Zargar stepped out of jail after she was granted bail under humanitarian consideration, two other Jamia students have been called in by the Delhi Police for questioning.

The two students are -- Suyash Tripathi from the Law department and Arsalan Alhmed from the department of Social Studies. Both were called by Delhi Police on Wednesday and are being questioned regarding their alleged role in the anti-CAA protests and the conspiracy behind the Delhi Riots in which 53 people lost their lives.

The two Jamia students were sent notices to appear before the Delhi Police's Special Cell, a specialized wing based out of the capital's Lodhi Road area.

Jamia has been at the forefront of the anti-CAA protest that even saw violence. However, Jamia Millia Islamia claimed their students did not take part in the riots or indulge in any kind of violence.

ON Wednesday, Zargar, a key member of the Jamia Coordination Committee that was leading the anti-CAA protests in the capital, was released from the jail after she was granted bail on Tuesday. However, she also cannot leave Delhi without permission. The 27-year-old was arrested on April 10, under the draconian Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, on conspiracy charges over the riots.

    Anti CAA Jamia student Safoora Zargar was jailed.In contrast, the BJP politician Kapil Mishra, who is accused of sparking the riots on 23 February with calls to a crowd – some armed with guns, sticks, stones and glass bottles – to teach Muslim protesters in north-east Delhi “a lesson” has not been charged, despite dozens of complaints made to the police against him. Five other BJP politicians who had alleged roles in inciting the Delhi riots have also not been named on the charge sheets.

    Sikh man who sold his flat and served langar at Shaheen Bagh protest site, booked in Delhi riots. Prashant Bhushan has rightly called Delhi Police “Dalla police” for arresting Pinjra Tod activist for riots during anti-CAA protests.

    Delhi Police use of criminal law and terrorism laws to silence those who were engaged in democratic, peaceful protest. It’s an abuse of power and abuse of law.

    At the same time Hindu mobs roaming free who are armed with guns, metal rods and gas canisters, set fire to Muslim homes, shops and mosques and Muslims were beaten and killed in the street. Thousands of Muslim families lost their homes and more than 40 of the 53 who died in the riots were Muslim.
