The protests, under the Cockroach Janta Party, ran for seven weeks and ended with the Union education minister's resignation. Delhi Police used tear gas, pellet guns, and lathi charges; protesters have alleged use of nail-studded batons and electric batons. Videos show women being slapped. The Delhi High Court and Supreme Court are hearing related petitions. Meanwhile, RSS ideologue T G Mohandas said in YouTube videos that if in charge he would have ordered police to open fire on protesters, and that women protesters "like to be raped".
