Police Actions Criticised as Dipke Claims Assault and Blockade

Dipke also alleged that he himself was beaten and barred from reaching Jantar‑Mantar, the traditional protest hub. He claimed police officers pushed him, dragged him on the road, and threatened his ability to reach the site. According to Dipke, several legislators and MPs were also stopped at the gate, denied entry to the protest area. He called the police behavior "thuggery" and appealed for broader public support to keep the demonstration alive.
