Yet another video of alleged police brutality in Jamia Millia Islamia emerged on Monday even as police maintained that it is trying to establish the exact sequence of the events after analysing all the clips that have surfaced on social media.

In the fresh video, the police can be seen raining batons on students who are trying to escape. Women students can be seen moving out while pleading with the police and one of the policemen can be seen breaking a camera.

Police, however, said it will not be appropriate to declare anyone innocent without a proper investigation.

Three videos had emerged online earlier, two months after the December 15 violence at the campus. While one video purportedly showed paramilitary and police personnel thrashing students in the library, two other videos, which appeared hours later, showed some youths with covered faces entering the library
"We never thought that police would attack us. I am preparing for UPSC and was in the library since morning with my laptop. In the evening, we could hear a commotion but never thought we would be attacked since we had nothing to do with the protests."
