A Delhi School of Social Work (DSSW) student, who was at the receiving end of police assault near RSS headquarters as seen in a video, on Monday alleged police took turns to “brutally” thrash him and did not even let him have water.
A number of other protesters, predominantly JNU and Delhi University students, also painted a grim picture of the police action against them during a demonstration over dalit student Rohith Vemula’s suicide on January 30.
“I spotted a few men, who were not in uniform, pulling a few of our woman activists. When I raised my voice against it, someone from the police counted 1,2,3 and launched an assault on us and cornered me.
“After the first round of assault, I was sitting on a road divider. Friends offered me water. At that very moment, police once again started beating me up,” Samudra Sanghka, a final-year MA student at DSSW, said.
