<p>Mohammad Minhajuddin had come to Delhi last year with a dream of starting his law practice in the national capital, but on December 15 he lost vision in one eye allegedly in police action in the Jamia Millia Islamia library.</p>.<p>Minhajuddin, an LLM student, now wants to go back to his hometown in Bihar after completing his studies as he says he doesn't even feel safe in his university campus anymore.</p>.<p>He says his faith in law and order has been shaken.</p>.<p>"What was my fault? I was studying in the old library in a reading room reserved for MPhil and PhD students. We had locked it after learning that police entered the campus, but they barged inside and started baton charging students," he recalls.</p>.<p>On December 15, the police stormed inside the university campus to nab ''outsiders'' who were involved in arson, but they denied lathi charging the students.</p>.<p>Minhajuddin says students pleaded with the police saying they were not involved in the protest against the amended citizenship act but they did not pay heed.</p>.<p>"They deliberately entered the library. The protest was happening outside Gate Number 7 which is on the other side of the road. I had not participated in the protest but I was hit brutally," he claimed.</p>.<p>The student, who also sustained a fracture on one of his fingers, questioned the security of the university and how it failed to protect students. </p>.<p>"Doctors said there is a possibility of infection in my other eye as well. So I have been taking care by using a sanitiser to clean my hands and keeping everything clean around me," he adds. </p>.<p>Minhajuddin says after what he went through, he will never advise anyone to study in the library.</p>.<p>"I have not been to the campus after the incident, I am scared. I will never be able to enter the library without fear. I do not feel safe in my campus," he says.</p>.<p>His parents, who are here from Bihar, wanted him to return home but he refused.</p>.<p>"I will complete my PhD and then start my law practice in my hometown. Earlier, I wanted to practice in Delhi since the Supreme Court is here along with six district courts and great career opportunities. But after this, I do not like working here," he says.</p>.<p>It was only last year that Minhajuddin came to Delhi and today he "regrets his decision" as he says, "I did not know Delhi is such an unsafe city. I made a mistake coming here for my studies."</p>.<p>Minhajuddin said university vice-chancellor Najma Akhtar spoke to him and assured him of all help from the university's end, but the Jamia administration did not support him during his ordeal. </p>.<p>"She interacted with me over a video call and that information was circulated everywhere, but that was it. I have been managing everything with the help of my friends," he says. </p>.<p>AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan had announced Rs 5 lakh and a job at the Delhi Waqf Board for the Jamia student. </p>.<p>"Yes, he offered me a job but I have learnt that it is not a permanent position.
