'Shameful': AAP shares video, says Delhi Police ‘abusing’ protesters at Jantar Mantar

AAP shares another video of Delhi Police alleging misbehaviour

NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday shared a video alleging that Delhi Police personnel were “abusing Gen Z protesters and their mothers” during a protest at Jantar Mantar against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.“Delhi Police are now abusing GenZ protesters and their mothers. This is shameful,” AAP said in a post on X while sharing the video.

The incident comes days after an alleged case of police harassment involving three protesters came to light.

Delhi Police had transferred complaints from three female journalists alleging sexual harassment by police personnel during a protest in the New Delhi area on October 3 to the Crime Branch at Kamla Market for further action.The complaints were received by the New Delhi district police amid what it described as an “emergent law and order situation” during the protest.Talking to ANI, one of the victim said, "Yesterday, during the protest involving Neha Bora, I was recording the scene as she was being detained; I noticed there were no female constables present at that moment. In my video, I questioned why there wasn't a female constable while a woman was being detained."

These allegations have led to fresh protests outside the Parliament Street police station, with demonstrators seeking action over the alleged misconduct.
