NEW DELHI: A scuffle broke out at Delhi's Jamia Millia Islamia campus on Tuesday night, disrupting a Diwali celebration and prompting police deployment outside the university. The incident led to significant chaos, as captured in videos circulating on social media .
The footage shows a large crowd gathered on the campus, with men and women carrying backpacks while slogans were being chanted in the background. The altercation created a tense atmosphere, though authorities confirmed that the situation has since been brought under control, with both groups dispersing peacefully.
The exact cause of the scuffle remains unclear, with no official confirmation on what led to the confrontation.
Despite the temporary unrest, no major injuries have been reported, and calm has been restored on the campus.
This incident follows a similar altercation in May, where three individuals, including two students, were injured after a clash between two groups. The May scuffle reportedly erupted over a minor issue when a student kept a plate outside someone else's hostel room, which escalated into a larger conflict.
Police are currently monitoring the situation at Jamia Millia Islamia campus, though there have been no reports of further disturbances.
