Unidentified protester or statement author
The body provides an allegation about a Delhi protester but does not identify the person making the statement.
“One of the protestor in Delhi today was sexually abused by a male police official and when she went to file complaint, Delhi police DCP asked her to not escalate the matter. This is how Delhi police is saving its erring official. Women in Delhi are protesting for safety but their own officials are busy harassing women. Shame.”
