the police caught the assailant and are questioning him. "We have caught the person and are interrogating him," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Chinmay Biswal.

According to witnesses, a man was seen raising religious slogans before he opened fire with a country-made pistol at the rally. "He was shouting 'Deta hu tumhe azadi' (Let me give you freedom). He then shouted 'Jai Shri Ram' and opened fire," said a protestor.
 
Meanwhile, Shadab, a journalism student who received a bullet injury on his arm, was taken to the Holy Family Hospital for medical care. 
 
The students formed a human chain and didn't let the policemen in plainclothes enter the protest site.
