Twenty-one-year-old Sahul Khan was inside the library preparing for a clerical exam when around 20 police personnel barged into it and "pounced" on the students.

With polio in the right leg restricting his movement, Khan could barely stand up from the chair before a policeman hit him with a stick on the hands.

"The police hit me and I limped out of the library," Khan, a History student, said. "It is a pity that they did not even spare differently-abled people."
"I am preparing for CBSE clerk recruitment exam scheduled for December 25. The university is shut now, where will I go?" he asked. "My family doesn't even know what has happened. They do not even have a television."
