Asif Iqbal Tanha, a resident of Abul Fazal Enclave in Shaheen Bagh, was arrested by Delhi Police in connection with the violence in the Jamia area during a protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act in December last year.
Asif Iqbal is a member of the Students Islamic Organization, is 24 years old third-year student of BA in Persian language.
He was part of the Jamia Coordination Committee which spearheaded protests against the new citizenship law.
He is a close associate of Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, Meeran Haider and Safoora Zargar who had been key organisers of anti-CAA protests.
Delhi Police Special Cell had earlier arrested Meeran Haider and Safoora Zargar under 124A/UAPA of the IPC. Sharjeel Imam has also been booked for sedition and is currently in the custody of Assam Police.
Earlier on April 21, the police had charged Jamia Milia Islamia students Meeran Haider and Safoora Zargar under the stringent UAPA. While Zargar is the media coordinator of Jamia Coordination Committee, Haider is a member of the committee.
Asif was seen leading the students who later got violent and started pelting stones.
