October 23, 2024: A scuffle broke out at Jamia Millia Islamia on Tuesday night, disrupting a Diwali celebration and prompting a significant police presence outside the campus. The incident, which unfolded during the festive event, resulted in chaotic scenes as videos circulated on social media showing large crowds and individuals chanting slogans amidst the turmoil.

Witnesses described a tense atmosphere as the altercation escalated, although authorities confirmed that the situation was brought under control shortly after. Both groups involved eventually dispersed peacefully, and no major injuries were reported.

The cause of the clash remains unclear, with no official statements clarifying what triggered the confrontation. This incident follows a similar clash in May, where three individuals, including two students, were injured over a minor disagreement involving a plate left outside a hostel room, which spiraled into a larger conflict.

Currently, police are monitoring the situation at the campus, and there have been no additional disturbances reported. Despite the unrest, calm has been restored, allowing students to resume their Diwali festivities.
