Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student leader Umar Khalid was reportedly attacked outside Constitution Club of India on Rafi Marg on Monday with a firearm but he escaped unhurt. He was attending an anti-government protest there, reports said.
He was attacked by an unidentified man, reports said.
Umar Khalid had allegedly shouted anti-India and pro-Afzal Guru and Kashmir independence slogans on the JNU campus in 2016, inviting sedition charges against him and other student leaders like Kanhaiya Kumar and Anirban Bhattacharya and others.
