New Delhi: Hours after a video emerged showing the Delhi Police personnel assaulting a group of students, who were agitating against the alleged delay in justice to Rohith Vemula, two counter videos have surfaced.
These videos show students allegedly provoking the police by breaking barricades and hurling abuses at cops. Some women constables were clearly seen in the frame though protesting students claimed there weren't any.
Criticising the attack on students, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted that BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh had been using Delhi Police as their private army. "Delhi Police being used by BJP/RSS as their private army to terrorise and teach lesson to anyone opposing BJP/RSS. I strongly condemn attack on students."
The video shows Delhi Police personnel and a few others in civil dresses ruthlessly beating up some students. The students targeted in the video were reportedly protesting against the death of Hyderabad University Dalit PhD scholar Rohith Vemula.
As the video begins, the students are seen and heard raising slogans of "Delhi Police murdabad", but it's followed by a sudden aggression from Delhi Police, who end up beating the students mercilessly, even as they hit at the camera shooting the same.
Talking about the video, Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi, "I have not seen the video. I was told about it. We will look into the matter if there is any discretion. We will also speak to the eye witnesses."
