On a day when people came out to protest and demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, Delhi Police played a game of cat and mouse across Central Delhi. At Connaught Place’s inner circle, our reporters saw police and paramilitary personnel chase protesters into alleys, surround them, and drag them into buses.
Suffice to say, there were an unusually large number of buses. There were around 20-30 of them, with mesh grills and sealed interiors, normally used to move undertrials from jail to count, according to what the police told our reporters. Newslaundry found that female protesters were violently shoved into buses.
