New Delhi: At least nine students from Jamia Millia Islamia have been booked by the Delhi Police for allegedly fighting on the college campus and continuing the brawl at South Delhi’s Holy Family Hospital, where a student of the college was shot, on Thursday night.

Police investigation said that a fight had occurred between two groups of students inside the Jamia library on Thursday, allegedly over a woman student.

A few of the students sustained injuries in the brawl and were and taken to Holy Family Hospital, where they again fought over the same issue. In the meantime, one of the students opened fire a bullet on a student inside the emergency ward of the hospital, reported The Indian Express.
