The FIR followed a complaint from the institute about an unauthorised gathering on campus.

Overview

  • The FIR alleges slogans in support of Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam were raised, a claim students quoted by The Wire dispute.
  • Police say ten students have been identified and issued notices, and investigators are reviewing video and social-media posts.
