Their belongings locked in the library and eyes still burning from teargas, several Jamia Millia Islamia students narrated their ordeal on Monday after a police crackdown inside the campus the evening before.
A day after the violence, the students expressed fear of being attacked again.
Twenty-one-year-old Sahul Khan, a History student, said, "I am preparing for CBSE clerk recruitment exam scheduled for December 25. The university is shut now, where will I go? My family doesn't even know what has happened. They do not even have a television."
Another student said, "I have polio in my right leg. The police hit me and I limped out of the library. It is a pity that they did not even spare specially-abled people."
