Delhi police detained about 17 people on Monday outside Parliament Street police station, including a woman journalist who accused a senior officer of sexually harassing her while she covered an earlier protest near Jantar Mantar.
The group, which included journalists and activists, had camped outside the station demanding that police register a first information report against officers accused by three female journalists of sexual harassment and manhandling on October 3. The women had been covering protests calling for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in a revision of voter rolls.
The journalist detained Monday accused Assistant Commissioner of Police Vivek Bhagat of sexually harassing and shoving her as she recorded the detention of student leader Neha Bora. No FIR had been registered in any of the three cases as of Monday morning, according to The Hindu.
Delhi Police said the complaints had been transferred to the Crime Branch for a “fair and impartial enquiry.” Officers recorded the complainants’ statements and said CCTV footage would be reviewed. Police also requested video evidence from the public.
A senior officer told The Indian Express that Monday’s gathering was prohibited under Section 163 of the BNSS and that the detainees would be released. Lawyers and activists alleged that some detainees were assaulted.
