Delhi Police recently detained a group of protestors, who say they were forced into pitch‑dark vans fitted with cages. Inside, they allege they were beaten, kicked—including blows to private parts—and had their phones seized.
The detainees report being denied water and basic care during the ride. After release, hospitals and police have refused to provide the medico‑legal case details requested by the injured protestors.
Multiple media outlets have documented these accusations, prompting calls for scrutiny of police detention practices in the capital.
