Last year in December, the police had allegedly barged into the Jamia Millia Islamia campus after protests over the Citizenship (Amendment Act) stirred the university and turned violent.
The Delhi Police said that it is committed to upholding the rule of law and bringing conspirators, abettors and culprits of the Northeast Delhi riots to book and secure justice to victims.
The communal violence in February had claimed as many as 53 lives and left over 200 people injured.
