Left Student Groups Protest Police Crackdown
Some student groups that support left-wing ideas had a protest in New Delhi at a place called Jantar Mantar.
They were upset because they think the police are being too harsh on student activists.
The students want the police to stop arresting them and to release those who have been detained.
They also want the police to stop treating protests as if they are crimes.
The protest happened just a few days after a big protest that led to the resignation of a government minister.
Many different student groups joined the protest, and they shouted slogans asking the police to stop arresting students and to stop treating them like criminals.
They also want the police who used force during a previous protest to be punished.
