On 20 July, police dispersed thousands marching towards Parliament with tear gas and baton charges. Delhi Police said 60 protesters and 118 police personnel were injured, while protesters disputed the figures. Protesters also reported injuries from alleged pellet guns, shock batons and other crowd-control devices. Police denied using some of the devices. Medical treatment was reported, including ventilator support for a woman and pellet injuries affecting five protesters. Women who joined or posted about the demonstrations told the BBC they faced doxxing, sexual threats, doctored images and abusive messages. Some made accounts private or reported the abuse. Criminal cases were opened against some protesters. The wider scale, coordination and legal outcome of the harassment remain unclear. ## Coverage - bbc.com - thehindu.com Tags: crowd control, Delhi protests, online abuse, police action, women protesters Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/delhi-protesters-report-injuries-and-online-abuse-after-marches/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
