Delhi Police on Monday dismissed as “false” viral claims alleging that a woman named Geetanjali and a 12-year-old girl were assaulted during the Cockroach janta Party protest in the national capital.
The clarification came after CJP spokesperson Saurav Das alleged on social media that Geetanjali’s hair had been pulled by Delhi Police, a 12-year-old girl had suffered a head injury, and that 40 to 50 others had sustained serious injuries.
In a post on X, Das wrote: “GEETANJALI JI’S HAIR PULLED BY DELHI POLICE, ASSAULTED. A 12 YEAR OLD GIRL’S HEAD HAS BEEN BROKEN. 40-50 OTHER HEADS BROKEN! @DelhiPolice WHAT IS GOING ON!?”
