He was one of the key organisers of Shaheen Bagh protests in New Delhi.
Police personnel accompanying him had to throw a cordon around Imam as several media persons and protestors crowded the platform.
Sharjeel, a research scholar of the Jawaharlal Nehru University, had allegedly made certain seditious statements like "Assam should be cut off from rest of India" during the anti-CAA protests held at Shaheen Bagh.
Taking cognizance of the comment and after verifying the authenticity of the audio clip, the Assam government had reportedly registered a case against him.
