Assam Police has registered a case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act against Sharjeel Imam, said to be one of the organisers of the anti-citizenship law protest at Shaheen Bagh, after videos of him allegedly calling for the state to be cut off from the rest of India surfaced online. Assam Police told NDTV that Sharjeel Imam, a student of Modern Indian History at Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), will face charges including those amounting to criminal conspiracy, sedition and promoting enmity between groups on basis of religion.
