While we could not verify the authenticity of the video, netizens are questioning the Delhi police for their brutality on students, after the video went viral.

This video (subject to verification) reveals Jamia library horror. Two months on, will anyone be held culpable? Forget the right Vs left trap, violence against unarmed students inside campus is unforgivable: who will be held accountable? https://t.co/KYwaVIM0DC

Horrific footage of the police brutality unleashed on unarmed students at #Jamia. Why has no action been taken against these officers? Did they act on their own or were they given explicit orders to thrash students at sight?#JamiaViolence #ShameonDelhiPolice pic.twitter.com/V9JBqMMLXw

Delhi police has been accused of using force in the crackdown at Jamia, and as far as the latest CCTV footage is concerned, Delhi Police has said the case has already been transferred to the Crime Branch and the video is being probed by them.
On 15th December last year, the police used force against the Jamia students protesting against the controversial CAA. It sparked nationwide protests and people across the country showed their solidarity with the protestors.
