Delhi High Court Bar Association Condemns Detention of Lawyers

A group of people protested in New Delhi on Saturday.

They wanted the head of India’s election authority, Gyanesh Kumar, to resign.

Their demand was linked to claims of problems with changes to voter lists.

Police detained some people, including lawyers, near Bangla Sahib Gurudwara.

The Delhi High Court Bar Association criticized the detentions and what it called excessive force.

Senior lawyer Shadan Farasat said police tore his shirt and put him in a moving bus.

He said he feared his leg could be hurt.
