The Delhi Police have initiated legal action against an associate professor from Jamia Millia Islamia following allegations of assault made by a university employee. The case, registered under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, has sparked significant attention.

According to police, the complaint was made by Ramphool Meena, an upper-division clerk in the Polytechnic department, accusing Professor Riyazzudin of using objectionable language and exhibiting violent behavior. In response, the university has firmly denied any wrongdoing, labeling a circulating social media video as 'doctored' and irrelevant.

The police have also dismissed any claims that the incident involved forced religious conversion, stressing the importance of not spreading unverified information. Investigations continue as evidence and statements are collected to ascertain facts surrounding the incident.
