A seven member team of National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) visited the Jamia Millia Islamia on Friday to inspect the library where the police allegedly used force against the students.
"The team headed by SSP (Investigation) Manzil Saini inspected the Library and enquired about the whole incident that took place on December 15, 2019," varsity offical Azeem Ahmed said.
Jamia students had alleged that police entered the library forcibly and started abusing them.
