Several students missing after crackdown on AMU protesters: Fact-finding team

India Today  

A fact-finding team reports that security personnel used excessive and brutal force in a crackdown on protesters at Aligarh Muslim University on Sunday, and that over a dozen students are still missing. On Sunday evening, AMU students marching peacefully towards the main campus gate were verbally abused by security forces posted outside, and later attacked with tear gas shells, rubber bullets, stun grenades, pellets and stones. They conducted lathi-charges, used "massive amounts of tear gas, rubber bullets and pellets", raided hostels and mosques, and vandalised students' vehicles. Three students were critical, including one whose right hand needed to be amputated because an explosive similar to a tear gas grenade blew up in it.
