CJP Alleges Police Excesses During Protest
The allegations came after police dispersed protesters attempting to march towards Parliament and cleared the protest site.
By Monday evening, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke, spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka, Saurav Das, and Gitanjali J. Angmo continued their sit-in near Kerala House, saying the agitation would continue despite the crackdown.
Abhijeet Dipke alleged:
“Police have been absolutely brutal. They have fractured the skulls of many students who were protesting here. Even a 15-year-old girl was brutally beaten up by a male police officer. A male police officer even tried to grab the hair of Sonam Wangchuk’s wife, Gitanjali Angmo. They even tried to lathicharge her and drag her out of the tempo.”
Gitanjali J. Angmo Says 25 Lakh Youth Support the Movement
Addressing supporters, Gitanjali J. Angmo said the movement has received the support of an estimated 25 lakh young people.
She said:
“This shows that our education system, education policies and overall governance in the sector are deeply flawed and affecting every young person. The government must listen to their concerns at the earliest. Good governance means listening to the voices of youngsters and resolving this matter without delay.”

Delhi Police Reject Assault Allegations
