Attacks – Journalists

The Press Club of India (PCI) has condemned the manhandling by Delhi Police of several photojournalists covering the protests by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) protests against the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind. The incidents happened near the Patel Chowk Metro station in Central Delhi.

Several video grabs and photographs of the incident went viral through the day of the roughing up of journalists who were merely carrying out their professional duties. A statement released by the PCI has demanded a high-level enquiry by a retired judge into the highhandedness of Delhi Police. Two photojournalists were injured in the action.
