Compensate us for losses caused to our properties by cops, AMU students tell CM Yogi Adityanath

AGRA: A day after the Uttar Pradesh government started seizing properties of anti-CAA protestors, students of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) have demanded that chief minister Yogi Adityanath should compensate them for the losses caused to their properties by the police and RAF during the police action on the campus on December 15.
In a letter to the CM, the students have stated, “since you have declared seizure of the properties of those who inflicted damage on public and personal properties in Sambhal and Lucknow and put them out for auction, we assume that you will treat the damaged properties of students with the same concern."
Former cabinet member of students’ union Ferdous Ahmad Barbhuiya said that as per the available cctv footage and video recordings, scooters and bikes of students were destroyed by the police and RAF inside the campus.He said, “We expect sincere help from you as you are the guardian of the state.”
The letter reads, “on December 15, AMU was attacked by RAF and police personnel. After the internet shutdown in the city at 12am, the police raided boys’ residential hostels and unlawfully detained innocent boys from their rooms and the campus. This resulted in great damage to life and property.”
Another student Hamza Sufyan, who is former vice president of the students’ union, said that what about “personal damage to us.” He questioned that who is responsible for the loss of an AMU student’s hand? How would the state government compensate it? “His right hand has been lost permanently and he has been maimed because of police action,” said Sufyan.
In fact, three activist lawyers, who visited AMU recently, also mentioned in their preliminary fact-finding report that “surprising yet horrific act by the armed forces was vandalising the bikes and other vehicles belonging to students who had left them on parked on the road.”
