Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday condemned the scuffle between police personnel and wrestlers protesting at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, alleging the police was “torturing” them.
Gehlot urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah to take cognisance of the incident.
“When Rahul Gandhi spoke about the harassment of women during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, the Delhi Police reached (his residence) to seek information about the women. Now that the champion daughters, who made the country proud, are demanding justice for many days at Jantar Mantar after complaining about their harassment, the Delhi Police is torturing them instead of taking action on their complaint,” Gehlot said in a tweet in Hindi.
“The Union Home Minister should take cognisance of the incident,” he added.
