The Delhi Police crackdown on students of the Jamia Millia Islamia University for protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act on Sunday, 15 December, has snowballed into massive protest by several universities across the country.

Amid the clash between Delhi police and Jamia students, social media is filled with claims and counterclaims.

One such claim is that a member of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) was dressed as a police personnel at the time of the incident.

The image shows screenshot of ABVP's Bharat Sharma’s Facebook profile (left) and a man dressed in civilian clothes with a helmet on his head, lathi in his hand, and bulletproof jacket.

NCP leader Jitendra Awhad, among many other social media users, shared the image with the same narrative.
