Delhi Police Apologizes After Lawyers Manhandled

On July 23, lawyers went to Lodhi Colony Police Station to help three students who were detained during a protest.

The police initially denied detaining the students and did not allow the lawyers to meet them.

The lawyers waited for a long time and were eventually told to leave.

Later, some women lawyers met the students inside the station.

The lawyers asked the police to release the students, but the police instead asked them to leave.

The lawyers say the police manhandled them and a woman journalist.

After videos of the incident went viral, the police apologized for their behavior.

In the end, 21 detainees, including the three students, were released.
