AISA Alleges Police Excessive Force, Demands Removal of Delhi Police Commissioner
The All India Students' Association (AISA) accused Delhi Police of using excessive force, including baton charges, tear gas, and pellet guns, against protesters at Jantar Mantar. AISA demanded the removal of Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar and Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, alleging targeted police action against peaceful demonstrators seeking education reforms. Reports included injuries to students and claims of coordinated assaults involving unidentified individuals alongside police. The new commissioner was appointed in July, shortly before the protests intensified.
