Shooting at anti-CAA protest

A man, identifying himself as Gopal, opened fire at the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) demonstraters, injuring a student of the university. In the video, the young man was seen walking with a gun, amid heavy-security of the Delhi Police, saying, "who wants Azadi, come I'll shoot you."

The attack came three days after MoS Anurag Thakur was seen chanting inflammatory slogans in a BJP election rally in Delhi on January 28. The video shows the Union Minister shouting 'Desh ke gaddaron ko, goli maron salon ko' (Shoot all traitors of the country) while campaigning for the BJP candidate for Rithala Assembly constituency - Manish Chaudhari. The shocking remark was heavily criticised, with the EC ordering the BJP to remove Thakur from its list of star campaigners and suspending him from campaigning for 96 hours.
