Police in India detained at least 35 media workers covering protests in New Delhi over a 48-hour period, according to the US-based Committee to Protect Journalists. Authorities allege they were obstructing police duties.
A female journalist is tearfully recounting how the Delhi Police and some goons subjected her to brutality.
Yet, the Delhi Police remained unmoved.
DCP Sir, I imagine you will somehow find a way to justify even this.

Gorakhpur-based activist and former journalist Parvez Parwaz, 72, died in Gorakhpur District Jail on Sunday while serving a life sentence in a gangrape case. Jail officials said he suffered from high blood pressure and diabetes and died after experiencing breathing difficulties. In 2007, Parwaz recorded a speech by then Gorakhpur MP Yogi Adityanath and later sought a court-ordered investigation into his alleged role in inciting violence. After a magistrate rejected his petition, citing an existing FIR, Parwaz approached the Supreme Court. He was arrested in 2018 after a woman accused him and another man of gangrape, and was sentenced to life imprisonment in July 2020. Jail officials said he was taken to a district hospital after developing breathing difficulties, where he died during treatment.
