A few hours ago, a gunman shot a student of Jamia Millia Islamia University in Delhi, after brandishing a pistol at a group of students on the road outside the university. The students were leading a protest march against the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens.

The Delhi police identified the gunman as Ram Bhagat Gopal Sharma. He allegedly shouted, "Yeh lo Azadi. Hindustan zindabad. Delhi police zindabad.” Here is your Azadi. Hail India. Hail Delhi police.

Even as reports and videos flew thick and fast on social media, Republic TV led with the news that a "Jamia protester" had turned "violent".
