Delhi Police Beat up Protesters Outside RSS HQ, Nation Reacts

A video showing Delhi Police’s brutal crackdown on the protesters has triggered outrage on social media.

Scores of students staged a protest near the RSS office in Jhandewalan, on Saturday, demanding punishment for the “culprits” behind the “institutional victimisation” of Hyderabad Central University’s Dalit scholar Rohith Vemula, whose suicide has triggered outrage.
