The youth who fired at a group of anti-CAA protesters near the Jamia Millia University, in which a student was injured, was sent to a 14-day protective custody by the Juvenile Justice Board on January 31, police sources said.
The shooter was presented before the Board on Friday afternoon, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rajesh Deo said.
The police said they have also urged the Board to form a medical panel to conduct a bone ossification test that will verify the age of the youth.
On Thursday, the shooter fired a pistol at a group of anti-CAA protesters, injuring Jamia student Shadab Farooq, before walking away while waving the fire arm above his head and shouting “Yeh lo aazadi” amid heavy police presence. The Crime Branch of Delhi police are investigating the case.
