Violence at Aligarh Muslim University over Jinnah portrait

Aligarh (UP): Police on Wednesday lobbed teargas shells to disperse AMU students demanding the arrest of protesters who had barged into the campus, shouting slogans over a portrait of Muhammad Ali Jinnah which hangs at the student union office.

District magistrate Chandra Bhushan Singh said two youths were injured in the police action.

They were then taken away to a police station from where they were later "rescued" by other protesters, AMU student union members said.
