Student shot in India during a protest against a controversial law

Student shot in India during a protest against a controversial law

A student has been shot after a man opened fire during a protest against a controversial citizenship law in the Indian capital, Delhi.

Police arrested the gunman outside the city's prestigious Jamia Millia Islamia University.

Shootings inside educational institutes are not a common occurrence in India.

A video showed the man brandishing a gun and asking the protesting students if they really wanted "azadi" or "freedom".

"Azadi" has become a controversial word as it is often invoked by Kashmiris opposed to Indian rule.

However, protesters outside Kashmir who use the term say it can also mean freedom from issues such as hunger and poverty.

The injured student reportedly was shot in the hand and has been taken to hospital for treatment.
