BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya claimed on Sunday that the video of purported police brutality at the Jamia Millia Islamia in December also showed that students in the library were actually "stone pelters".

In a tweet, Malviya tagged the video and claimed that the students in the library were wearing masks and reading shut books.

They were "looking anxiously towards the entrance rather than being relaxed and immersed in studies, which is what a library is meant for", he said.

"Anatomy of Jamia rioters who tried hiding in the library after a stone pelting session?" Malviya asked. "Good of Jamia rioters to self identify themselves. Agencies must use the video as evidence."
