DMC appeals to CJI to take cognizance of alleged police brutality against CAA, NRC protesters

Delhi Mirities Commission (DMC) has appealed to Chief Justice of India S A Bobde to take cognizance of alleged police brutalities during recent protests against CAA and NRC in various parts of country.

Zafarul Islam Khan, DMC chairman, in a letter to CJI, said police behaviour in various states has been "highly objectionable" during protests against Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Khan in his January 10 letter has attached a list of 87 instances of "police brutality" against protesters in UP, Karnataka, Assam, Jammu and Kashmir, Gujarat and Delhi.
