A scuffle broke out between two student groups during Diwali celebrations at Jamia Millia Islamia University in Delhi on Tuesday night, prompting police deployment outside the campus as a precautionary measure, officials said on Wednesday.

The altercation began when one group disrupted the Diwali festivities organised by another. University security personnel intervened, quickly bringing the situation under control, and the students dispersed without further incident.

Police said no formal complaint had been lodged regarding the confrontation. However, videos circulating on social media purportedly show students chanting "communal" slogans inside the campus.

"We have not received any complaints so far," said a police officer, adding that the deployment of personnel was a precautionary step following reports of tensions.

A senior officer confirmed that local police have been instructed to increase their vigilance around the campus.
