Five students were asked to leave by police while they were informing people outside the gate of Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT) in Nagpur about cancellation of a protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act and police action on Jamia Millia Islamia students, an official said on Saturday.

The incident took place at 3pm in Bajaj Nagar area in the city and no case was taken against the five students, including four girls, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone I) Vivek Masal said.

"They did not have permission from the Bajaj Nagar police to hold a protest outside VNIT. We warned the five students to not assemble there. They left and no case was taken," he added.
