Delhi Police Families Demand Action After July 20 Clash
On July 20, a protest march called "Chalo Sansad" turned violent in Delhi.
Police officers were attacked while trying to keep the crowd in check.
Several officers were hurt, one was almost lynched, and another was taken to hospital unconscious.
The families of these officers held a press conference to say the police were attacked by bad people who had joined the protest.
They want the government to punish those who caused the violence and to make sure the police are protected.
The incident has made politicians argue about how the police used force during the protest.
Families of Delhi Police officers injured in July 20 clashes demand action against those responsible.
The clashes were part of the Cockroach Janata Party’s "Chalo Sansad" march, which turned violent near Parliament Street, Connaught Place and Jantar Mantar.
Injured officers were attacked while performing crowd‑control duties, with one sub‑inspector nearly lynched and another admitted unconscious to RML Hospital.
Family members accuse "anti‑social elements" infiltrating the protest and call for accountability of the miscreants.
The incident has intensified political debate over police use of force during the Gen Z‑led student agitation.
