The Press Club of India said it was "shocked and dismayed" by Delhi Police's treatment of journalists at Saturday's Jantar Mantar protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Three women journalists alleged sexual harassment by police personnel. One said ACP Vivek Bhagat groped her, and that no FIR was registered despite a three-hour wait at Parliament Street police station. The Press Club said "behaviour of this kind cannot be normalised in a democracy," and also criticised the internet ban near the protest site. Delhi Police has transferred the complaints to the crime branch. Left leaders, including Brinda Karat, demanded an FIR against the ACP. (PC: X)
