Holding up a gun at protesters near Delhi's Jamia Millia Islamia university, a young man walked backwards while shouting "yeh lo azaadi (here's your freedom)". Behind him, a large number of policemen in riot gear seemed frozen to the spot. Standing close to dozens of policemen, he pulled out his gun and spent about two minutes waving the weapon around. No policeman tried to approach him. After he had fired a shot, injuring a student, one policeman finally walked towards him and caught hold of him.
