Families of Delhi Police personnel injured in a recent student protest at Jantar Mantar have accused authorities of ignoring their suffering. At a press conference on Friday, they demanded justice and proper medical care for the officers, some of whom are still undergoing treatment. The daughter of a sub-inspector said her father was dragged by a mob and "almost lynched" near the stage on July 25. He was admitted to RML Hospital and remained unconscious for four hours, she said, adding that he had served 15 years as a Marine Commando in the Indian Navy before joining the police. The protest, led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), ended last Saturday after the government agreed to key demands, including the resignation of then-education minister Dharmendra Pradhan and withdrawal of FIRs. The families, however, maintain that the plight of injured policemen has been overlooked.
