Gonsalves also shows a video to the court.

In the video, policemen are allegedly entering a bus and pouring a liquid on it before it was burnt.

The allegation is, he said, that this was to create a legitimate excuse by the police to go after the students later.

Gonsalves informs the court that all this was supplied to the police station but no FIR has been registered, despite the judgment in Lalita Kumari case.

Gonsalves also asks for instant and quality medical care for the injured students.

Additionally, Gonsalves wants restraint against registering any case against students and preservation of CCTV footage.

Who started the commotion? Were the students responsible, or was the police responsible?

These are some of the questions that Gonsalves wants an independent enquiry to ascertain.
