New Delhi: A video is being circulated on social media which shows how Delhi Police pulled the hair and manhandled the national president of Indian Youth Congress Srinivas BV during the party’s protest.
Srinivas BV was today following the protests over Congress interim leader Sonia Gandhi’s questioning by the Enforcement Directorate in the National Capital.
Soon after the video was shared on social media, brutal detention of the Congress leader by the Delhi Police has sparked outrage among the party workers and other leaders.
Such detention took place when former Congress president and the MPs who had gathered at the Vijay Chowk to march towards the Rashtrapati Bhavan to draw the President’s attention to the alleged misuse of central agencies by the government were stopped by the police.

Can someone be pulled by hair, pushed and manhandled for protesting?
Well, this is not the first time that we are witnessing such incident. There has been times where the protestors were beaten brutally, tear gas was used, protestors were dragged on the streets.
There has been several allegations and records where police were blamed for inhuman behaviour.
Here is how Delhi Police is being criticised:
One of the Twitter users said, “Look at the hooliganism of Modi’s police on the oxygen man of India who saved thousands of lives! Where is democracy? Who gave police the rights to manhandle?”

Last year this time #SrinivasBV was personally saving lives of thousands of Delhites including cops and RSS-BJP guys who were all gasping for oxygen as #COVID19 second wave ravaged India.
And this is how they treat him today.#SatyagrahaNahinRukega #SatyagrahaWithSoniaGandhi
