Congress MP Imran Masood, 9 others detained near Jamia amid student protest

Jamia protests: Ten individuals were detained by Delhi Police near Jamia Millia Islamia amid ongoing protests. The protests began on October 12 and demand students' union elections. Students claim that the last elections were held in 2005, after which the union was dissolved. Tensions escalated on October 17 when authorities attempted to remove demonstrators from campus property. University security has since been tightened with students being checked prior to entry.
