Besides being an actor, Cusack is also an activist and a vocal critique of human rights and social issues.
According to Jamia's Vice Chancellor, 200 people, majority of them students, have been injured in the police crackdown and university property has also been damaged after cops "forcefully" entered the university on Sunday night.
The police said they entered the campus to nab miscreants who pelted stones and committed arson during protests near the university against the Citizenship Amendment Act.
The police action has triggered protests across India, especially from edicational institutes.
