A suspected Hindu nationalist Thursday live-streamed himself minutes before opening fire on university students protesting against India’s new citizenship law. One student was reportedly shot in the hand before police arrested the alleged gunman, who timed his attack to coincide with the anniversary of the assassination of independence hero Mahatma Gandhi in 1948 by a Hindu radical. Video circulating on social media showed the man brandishing a handgun and confronting protesters while shouting “Yeh lo azadi” (“Here is your freedom”) and “Long live Delhi police”.
