This week on TV Newsance, Delhi’s protest season went full Tom & Jerry. Police chasing, protesters scattering, and everyone in the detention bus was already editing their reel. Jantar Mantar was “fired” from protest duty, so the capital now has a new list of approved places to be angry in, and you won’t love them.
Over 7,000 people and 30+ journalists were detained in a day, including three of our own reporters. But the real scandal, according to Rubika Liyaquat, is that detainees got chai and samosas, which automatically translates to “How dare you insult the kind police?”
