Two Muslim female journalists allege they were detained and brutally assaulted by police in IndiaтАЩs capital, Delhi. Police have denied the allegations, claiming the journalists were brought to the station over an illegal parking dispute.
My name is Khan. I am Mohammed. I am a Muslim, that is why a Delhi Police officer beat me up.
@4pmnews_network Shaheen Khan, a journalist, was beaten by the Delhi Police because he is a Muslim; he had questioned Delhi CM Rekha Gupta.
Two women journalists, Shaheen Khan and Nafisa Khan, allege Delhi Police detained and assaulted them while they were covering an event.
Shaheen says the assault intensified once officers heard her surname, Khan.
Delhi Police has not responded.
