Jamia student shot at inside Delhi Hospital after clash at University
A Jamia Millia Islamia University student was shot by another student late Thursday at the Holy Family Hospital in Delhi. According to police, the shooting was a result of a fight that started earlier on the university campus.
Nauman Ali, who was shot, suffered only a minor wound to his scalp. He had come to the hospital to see a friend, Noman Chaudhary, who was being treated for a head injury sustained in a fight between two groups of students earlier in the evening at the Jamia library.
According to police, Zalal, a student from the opposing group, arrived at the hospital with his friends and opened fire on Nauman Ali outside the Emergency ward.
A doctor told NDTV over the phone last night that there was some confusion following the shooting. “Everything is under control,” said the doctor.
“There was a clash between two groups in the neighborhood, and some injured persons were brought to the hospital Emergency,” the hospital said in a statement. “One shot was fired in the Emergency between the clashing groups, no bystanders, other patients, or hospital staff were injured, and the situation was immediately brought under control.”
Nauman Ali has since been cleared to make a statement and has been transferred to the AIIMS Trauma Center. According to the police, a team is inspecting the crime scene.
