Four men claiming links to Hindu Raksha Dal arrested for assault on students during CJP protest
On Sunday, Delhi Police arrested four men claiming to be members of the Hindu Raksha Dal for allegedly assaulting students and women on DDU Marg during an October 10 protest.
Demonstrations organized by the Cockroach Janta Party demanded Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over alleged irregularities in electoral roll revisions.
Video evidence showed the men physically manhandling protesters while a police officer appeared nearby; authorities identified suspects as Raman Saini, Vivekanand, Kapil Kumar, and Ravinder Singh.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi wrote on X that "Amit Shah's Delhi Police has itself descended into thuggery" and alleged the force encouraged violence against women and youth.
