that the government has dismissed as propaganda after a Tuesday campus screening was disrupted by a power cut and intimidation by opponents.
Modi was chief minister of the western state during the violence in which about 1,000 people were killed, most of them Muslims. Human rights activists put the toll at around 2,500. Police then detained more than a dozen students there about an hour ahead of the screening, according to the broadcaster.
The university saw violent clashes in December 2019 between protesters, including students, and the police over a new law that blocks Muslims in countries neighbouring India from gaining citizenship. Ghosh said members of a right-wing student group threw bricks at students hoping to watch the documentary, hurting several, and students had complained to police.A police spokesperson did not immediately respond to queries.
