Talks between teachers' delegation, police fail

A meeting between a delegation of the Jamia Millia Islamia University and the Jawaharlal Nehru University teachers and the Delhi police has failed to bring an end to the confrontation between the police and the students of two the universities.

Speaking to IANS, after the meeting one of the professor who wished anonymity said, "It looks that the Delhi police is adamant on framing charges against all 52 detained students."

The meeting between the two parties was called after hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Delhi Police headquarters at ITO to protest against the police action in the Jamia Millia Islamia University.

"We had asked them to release all the detained students, remove police force from the university campus and also to make sure that no cases were registered against the students," the professor told IANS.

"None of the demands were agreed," he added.

Though the professor didn't name all the participants from the police's side in meeting he mentioned that the DCP Central and the PRO of Delhi police, M.S. Randhawa were present in the meeting.

No immediate comments were available from the Police.
