A viral post has alleged that protesters were assaulted at Jantar Mantar, naming activist Geetanjali and claiming that a 12-year-old child and several others were injured.
A social-media post has alleged that Delhi Police assaulted protesters during demonstrations at Jantar Mantar, specifically naming an activist identified as Geetanjali and referring to injuries suffered by a 12-year-old child.
The post claims that Geetanjali’s hair was pulled and that the child sustained a serious head injury. It further alleges that between 40 and 50 other people were injured during the incident.
These allegations have triggered concern online, particularly as similar claims involving the alleged mistreatment of protesters and journalists at Jantar Mantar have circulated recently.
However, the claims in the viral post require independent verification. Delhi Police have previously denied allegations of violence during protests and have described some widely circulated posts as misleading content intended to create fear and panic.
Until official statements, medical records or independently verified evidence are available, the allegations should be treated as claims rather than established facts.
