New Delhi [India], Feb 20 (ANI): Jamia Coordination Committee members on Thursday held a protest outside Uttar Pradesh Bhawan here demanding the release of doctor Kafeel Khan, who was detained by the Uttar Pradesh police under the National Security Act (NSA) last week.
The protestors seen holding placards and raising slogans against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), were rounded up by police here.

He was on February 14 charged under the National Security Act (NSA). (ANI)
