Women allege assault by police during detentions at New Delhi protests

Women detained during anti-CEC demonstrations in New Delhi have reported being groped and pushed by male police personnel while being taken into custody. Women's groups subsequently marched from near Gurudwara Bangla Sahib to police headquarters to demand official action over the allegations. Police officials have not publicly responded to the claims, and the full extent of the allegations remains unresolved.
