The students who have been issued summons include those who were detained on the night of December 15, some others identified through CCTV video clips that surfaced recently, and some of those who suffered injuries on that day.

On December 15, the Delhi Police had used batons hurled tear gas shells inside the campus, barged into the premises and dragged students out of the library before assaulting them. The action followed a day of protests where some protesters who were ‘outsiders’ (according to Jamia), set buses and vehicles on fire in some parts of South Delhi.
However, Jamia students had denied that they were involved in the violence and had alleged police brutality.
