While being taken into custody, he shouted, “Sirf Hinduon ki hi chalegi, kisi aur ki nahi chalegi (only Hindus will rule).”
“The man had resorted to aerial firing. Police immediately overpowered and caught him,” DCP Chinmoy Biswal said.
The incident comes days after a local contractor armed with a gun had come to the site and asked the people to end the protest.
It also comes two days after a minor was arrested from outside Jamia Millia Islamia for firing at an anti-CAA protester in police view.
