India Today TV has accessed new CCTV footage of the December 15 Jamia violence raising questions over the role of protesters gathered at Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) on that day.

CCTV footage recorded at 6:21 pm on December 15 outside Jamia shows a number of masked persons pelting stones apparently on police officials.

In another CCTV footage recorded at 5:03 pm, miscreants can be seen hurling back tear gas shells at the police force during the violent clashes.

Another footage recorded at 6:20 pm outside gate number 7 of the Jamia university shows a group of men breaking a huge stone into pieces and pelting them allegedly on the police.

Reacting to the new Jamia violence videos, a senior officer of the Delhi Police Crime Branch SIT said it has questioned 10 university students in connection with the case.

"We are examining all the CCTV footage from inside and outside the Jamia campus. Based on the India Today's earlier CCTV footages, we have questioned 10 students of the Jamia University and we will summon more students in the time to come," he said.

The Jamia Coordination Committee (JCC), too, reacted to the footage of stone-pelting saying they should be examined.

"The videos should be examined. The police should also be questioned on its excesses against students. So far, neither the government nor the court has questioned the police. There should also be a record of the number of policemen who got injured by stones," Amanullah of the JCC said.

The new set of videos have come a few days after a video versus video war on the December 15 university violence case erupted between Jamia Coordination Committee (JCC) and the Delhi Police with both of them accusing each other of the assault.

While the Jamia committee claimed the police had lathicharged the students inside the university library on December 15, the Delhi Police Crime Branch has said some "rioters" hid inside the library on the day which led to the police action.

The first video of the Jamia violence from inside the library was released by the JCC on February 16. The video showed the police personnel, in riot gear, entering the Jamia Old Reading Hall and beating up students with batons.

The university, on December 15, had turned into a battlefield as police entered the campus to look for 'outsiders' who were reportedly involved in incidents of violence and arson a few metres away from the educational institute during a protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA).

That evening, the Delhi Police Crime Branch shared a video with India Today TV which showed some "rioters" entering the library reading hall allegedly to "escape the police crackdown".

Delhi Police had then claimed that the persons entering the library were rioters.
